Choosing Adirondack Blue for kitchen cabinets
BEHR identifies Adirondack Blue N480-5 as a slate blue with a light reflectance value (LRV) of 23. LRV runs from 0 to 100; a lower number means the color reflects less light. That makes your kitchen’s daylight and evening lighting worth checking before you choose it.
Use these real project photos as a starting point, then test a physical color sample in your own kitchen. Look at it beside the countertop, backsplash, flooring and hardware during the day and after dark. A screen cannot show the color exactly, and the same blue can look different from one room to another.
What is the color code?
The color is BEHR Adirondack Blue, N480-5. Use both the name and code when requesting a sample. The official BEHR color page provides the manufacturer’s color information.
Is the color name the same as the cabinet coating?
A color reference identifies the shade. It does not tell you which primer, coating or sheen was used. When planning cabinet painting, ask about surface preparation, the finish system and care instructions as well as the color.
