All 163 PPG / Glidden blue paint colors
Grouped by undertone (warm → cool)Hex values are display approximations from PPG / Glidden's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.
Every color here is mixed to order, not sold as a fixed pre-made can. A store starts with a base paint and tints it to the exact color and product line you choose, so the same blue is available across different finishes and quality tiers. Glidden and PPG Timeless are stocked at The Home Depot, while PPG Paints and Pittsburgh Paints & Stains sell through company stores and independent dealers; lines run from Glidden Essentials, Premium, and Diamond up through PPG Timeless and PPG Diamond. Note that PPG's US and Canada architectural brands moved to The Pittsburgh Paints Company in late 2024, so some labels and branding may still be in transition.
Because these are tinted to a recipe, you can cross-match. If you fall in love with a blue from another US brand, a dealer can usually match it into a PPG or Glidden base, and the reverse works too. The featured Kompozit deck can be matched the same way: bring the name or code, or take a real swatch in to be color-matched, and always confirm with a sample because a match across brands and finishes can shift slightly under your own lighting.
Light to Dark
The whole PPG / Glidden 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 light reflectance value, a 0 to 100 scale where higher numbers reflect more light and look brighter on the wall. In this blue slice the range runs from 5 at the darkest to 70 at the lightest, so the number tells you fast how a color will behave. Blue Booties (1241-2) at LRV 70 acts almost like a soft tint, while Cavalry (1041-7) at LRV 7 reads as a deep, enveloping blue.
For a room that should feel open and bright, stay in the 50 to 70 band with colors like Graceful (1152-3) or Blue Booties. For drama, a focal wall, or a cozy small space, drop into the teens and single digits with North Sea (1239-6), Blue Fjord (1163-6), or Cavalry. American Anthem (1156-4) at LRV 28 and Newport Blue (1240-6) at LRV 23 sit in the middle, deep enough to feel like real color but still easy to live with.
PPG / Glidden Blues by Room
Each room page shows blue picks from every US brand side by side — PPG / Glidden included — so you can compare in context.
Light blues in the 42 to 70 range work well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing rooms that need to feel airy. Suenos (17-01) and Graceful (1152-3) are easy whole-room colors, and Blue Booties (1241-2) is light enough to feel like a fresh neutral on every wall.
The deeper blues earn their keep on accent walls, kitchen islands, built-ins, and front doors. American Anthem (1156-4) and Newport Blue (1240-6) hold up well across a full room when you want richer color, while North Sea, Blue Fjord, and Cavalry are strong on a single wall or on cabinetry where the depth becomes a feature instead of overwhelming the space.

The Character of PPG and Glidden Blues
This slice pulls 145 blue colors from the combined PPG Paints and Glidden Premium decks, so you get range without leaving one color family. The cool end leans crisp and airy, like Blue Booties (1241-2), while the mid-tones such as Graceful (1152-3) and Suenos (17-01) read calmer and more grounded. At the deep end you reach near-navy and inky blues like North Sea (1239-6), Blue Fjord (1163-6), and Cavalry (1041-7).
Most of these blues carry a slight gray or green undertone rather than a pure primary blue, which is why they feel livable instead of loud. PPG and Glidden both come out of a large, neutral-heavy library, so even the saturated picks tend to stay soft enough for everyday rooms.
Pairing With Trim, Ceiling, and Coordinating Colors
Blue plays nicely with clean whites and soft off-whites, which is where PPG and Glidden's deep neutral library helps. Pair a mid or deep blue wall with a crisp white trim and ceiling to keep the look sharp, or use a warmer off-white to soften the contrast. The lighter blues like Blue Booties pair well with white trim and can even act as the ceiling color over a darker blue wall.
For coordinating colors, lean on warm neutrals and natural wood tones to balance the coolness of blue. A deep blue like Cavalry or Blue Fjord looks grounded next to greige and tan accents, while a soft blue like Graceful pairs cleanly with pale gray and warm white for a quiet, layered scheme.
The Questions Everyone Asks
What is the most popular PPG / Glidden blue paint color?
Black Flame (PPG1043-7). round out the short list most people choose from.
How many blue paint colors do PPG and Glidden offer?
This slice includes 145 blue colors pulled from the combined PPG Paints and Glidden Premium decks. They run from very light to nearly navy, with LRV from 70 at the lightest down to 5 at the darkest, so you have a wide range to choose from within one family.
What is the lightest and the darkest blue in this group?
Blue Booties (1241-2) is among the lightest at an LRV of 70, so it reads soft and airy. Cavalry (1041-7) is among the darkest at an LRV of 7, a deep blue that works best on an accent wall, cabinetry, or a small cozy room.
What undertones do these blues have?
Most lean slightly gray or green rather than a pure bright blue, which keeps them easy to live with. That softer undertone is why colors like Graceful (1152-3) and Suenos (17-01) feel calm on a full wall instead of loud.
Which blue should I use to make a small room feel bigger?
Stay in the lighter range, roughly LRV 50 to 70, with picks like Blue Booties (1241-2) or Graceful (1152-3). Higher LRV reflects more light, so the walls recede and the room feels more open.
Are these colors pre-made or mixed at the store?
They are mixed to order. The store tints a base paint to your chosen color and product line, so the same blue is available in different finishes and quality tiers like Glidden Premium, PPG Timeless, or PPG Diamond.
Can I match a PPG or Glidden blue to another brand, like Kompozit?
Yes. A dealer can match these blues to or from other US brands, including the featured Kompozit deck, by tinting to a recipe or scanning a real swatch. Always test a sample in your own room, since a cross-brand match can shift a little under different lighting and finish.
