As a deep, saturated cool blue, Citadel Blue brings a intense energy through its steely blue undertones. With an LRV of 27, it makes a powerful statement on feature walls, kitchen islands, and exterior doors. The closest cross-brand match is Hirshfield's's Ocean Spray, a near-identical match. MPC's Hapsburg Blue Metallic is another strong alternative. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
