Empire Fleet Blue is a medium, cool blue with oceanic undertones that give it a subdued quality. With an LRV of 41, it strikes a balance that suits both traditional and contemporary spaces, from dining rooms to dens. For a cross-brand equivalent, Kilz's Marine Bay is an extremely close match. MPC's Arles In Blue runs close as well. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
