Common questions

How many blue paint colors are there?

This page lists 746 blue paint colors from 6 brands - Benjamin Moore (181), PPG Paints (146), Berger Paints (125), Behr (122), Shalimar Paints (98), Sherwin-Williams (74) - each with its manufacturer code, hex value, RGB, LRV and undertone.

What is the paint code for a blue color on this page?

Every swatch shows its manufacturer code beneath the name - Benjamin Moore White Satin is 2067-70, for example. That code is what a store mixes from, and it is unique to its brand: the same code at another manufacturer is an unrelated color.

Which blue paint colors suit a dark room?

The ones with a high Light Reflectance Value, which is the percentage of light a color reflects. These blue colors run from LRV 3.4 (Sherwin-Williams Anchors Aweigh) to LRV 77.7 (Benjamin Moore White Satin); above 60 keeps a room bright, below 30 reads as a deep color and absorbs the light a dark room has left.

Are these blue paint colors warm or cool?

Both - 0 of the 746 are warm and 746 are cool, with the rest neutral. The label is computed from each color's hue angle and chroma in CIE L*a*b*, not from its name, so it can be compared across brands. Warm blue suits north-facing rooms, cool blue suits rooms that already get strong afternoon light.

How do you compare blue paint colors from different brands?

Open any swatch on this page. It lists the closest color in each of the other brands with a ΔE00 figure - perceived color difference, where under 1.0 is indistinguishable side by side and above 4 is visible across a room. The comparison covers published color values only, not sheen, base or coverage.

Is this a blue paint shade card?

It is the same information, online and searchable. Where a printed shade card or colour chart gives you a chip and a name, every blue swatch here carries its code, hex, RGB, LRV and undertone, and its nearest equivalents at the other brands in the catalog - with nothing to download and no fan deck to order.
