Read from the numbersCatalina Blue is the lighter of the two at LRV 48, 33.3 points above Coat of Arms at LRV 14.74. Both read cool. Both belong to the blues family. For a whole room, Catalina Blue is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Coat of Arms is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsCoat of Arms is a deep, grey-tempered teal — blue enough to anchor a room the way a navy would, green enough to feel alive against wood, brass and raffia. At LRV 14.7 it is a genuinely dark color, and that darkness is where its elegance lives: it recedes, it flatters everything placed against it, and it never looks like a color that is trying.
Despite the name, Catalina Blue lives in the soft territory where blue meets green. It is a muted, sea-glass color — grey enough to stay calm, green enough to feel coastal — that shifts between blue and sage depending on the light it's given.
