A collected medium, cool blue, Deep Blue Sea gets its personality from steely blue undertones. With an LRV of 48, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. The closest cross-brand match is PPG's Cosmopolitan, with only a slight difference visible side by side. Kilz's Blue Eyed Beauty is another strong alternative. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
