About royal blue
Royal blue is the saturated, mid-tone blue of British heraldry and varsity jackets — bolder than navy, with a clear violet undertone that distinguishes it from cobalt. It reads rich and slightly dressy, never moody.
Spec royal on accent walls, powder rooms, front doors, and lacquered cabinetry where you want jewel-box drama. Pair with gold leaf, polished brass, ivory trim, and warm-toned woods like cherry. LRV in the teens means it absorbs light, so reserve it for rooms with strong natural sources or pile on warm sconces. Try BM Symphony Blue or Farrow & Ball Pitch Blue.
