Grouped by undertone (warm → cool)Hex values are display approximations from Dunn-Edwards's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.
Dunn-Edwards is sold through its own company-owned stores in California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. You will not find it in big-box stores or nationwide, so plan around those five states. Like all modern paint, every color is mixed to order at the store from the base and tint, not pulled off a shelf.
If you live outside that region or already use another brand, you can cross-match. Any blue here can be paired to a near equivalent at the other US brands by hex and LRV, including the featured Kompozit deck. Click a swatch on this page to see its closest matches across the other brands, then buy whichever line is easiest for you to reach. Pricing on Dunn-Edwards runs roughly 55 to 65 dollars a gallon.
Light to Dark
The whole Dunn-Edwards blue range by depth. LRV is the number to trust — the same blue looks two steps darker on a wall than on a chip.
LRV is how much light a color reflects, on a scale of 0 (black) to 100 (white). This slice ranges from 4 at the darkest to 74 at the lightest, so there is a blue for almost any room. The higher the number, the airier and brighter the color feels on the wall.
For a light, open feel, look at the top of the range: Fresh Water (DE5854) at LRV 74 reads as a pale, breathable blue. Mid-range picks like Astral (DE5856) at 50 or Blue Cue (DE5892) at 37 give you real color without going dark. For drama, drop to Enchanting Sky (DE5900) at 24, Wharf View (DEC799) at 17, or Lapis (DE5846) at 10.
Dunn-Edwards Blues by Room
Each room page shows blue picks from every US brand side by side — Dunn-Edwards included — so you can compare in context.
Light blues high in the LRV range work well in rooms you want to feel calm and open: bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing spaces that need a lift. Fresh Water (DE5854) and Dockside (DE5806) at LRV 61 are easy, livable choices for walls in everyday rooms.
Deeper blues earn their place as accents and focal points. A dark like Lapis (DE5846) or Enchanting Sky (DE5900) makes a strong feature wall, a moody dining room, or a set of cabinets. For cabinets, doors, and trim, the ARISTOSHIELD urethane-alkyd enamel is built to take the wear; for walls, SUPREMA gives you an ultra-low-VOC, GreenWise-certified interior finish.

The Character of Dunn-Edwards Blues
Dunn-Edwards builds its colors for the West and Southwest, where the light is hard and bright. Their blues are tuned for that. Under intense desert sun, a blue that looks rich indoors can wash out fast, so these colors carry enough depth and undertone to hold their own.
The blue family runs 106 colors across the Perfect Palette. You get the full range here, from soft sky tones like Fresh Water (DE5854) down to deep, almost-ink shades like Lapis (DE5846) and the cool violet-leaning Legendary Purple (DE5930).
Pairing Blues with Trim and Coordinating Colors
Blue is easy to pair because it sits opposite warm tones. A clean white trim keeps a blue room crisp, and Dunn-Edwards has well-known whites for exactly this: Swiss Coffee, Bone China, and Cottage White all make calm, slightly warm trim partners that stop a blue from feeling cold.
For a layered look, pair a mid blue like Astral (DE5856) with a soft white ceiling and let a deeper blue such as Wharf View (DEC799) carry an accent. If you want warmth in the mix, a sandy or greige neutral balances cool blues nicely and reads natural under bright Western light.

which Dunn-Edwards line should I use for blue cabinets?
For cabinets, doors, and trim, ARISTOSHIELD is the urethane-alkyd enamel built to take daily wear and lay down a hard, smooth finish. For walls, SUPREMA is the ultra-low-VOC, GreenWise-certified interior paint. A deep blue like Lapis (DE5846) in ARISTOSHIELD makes a strong cabinet color.
