Common questions

How many blue paint colors does PPG Paints have?

PPG Paints publishes 146 blue paint colors in the palettes it makes available, and all of them are listed on this page with their color code, hex value, RGB, Light Reflectance Value and undertone.

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

Every swatch shows its manufacturer code beneath the name - PPG Paints WEEPING WISTERIA is PPG1246-2, 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 PPG Paints 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 4.0 (PPG Paints VICTORY BLUE) to LRV 73.0 (PPG Paints WEEPING WISTERIA); 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 146 are warm and 146 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.

What is the equivalent of a PPG Paints blue color in another brand?

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 the PPG Paints blue 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 - with nothing to download and no fan deck to order.
