Lazy Sunday
What Lazy Sunday Actually Looks Like
Lazy Sunday reads as a clear, mid-tone blue, neither navy-dark nor pale and washed out. It sits in a comfortable middle ground, the kind of blue that feels deliberate without being dramatic. In full daylight it shows as a clean, slightly cool blue. In dimmer light it deepens noticeably and takes on a more saturated, serious quality.
Lazy Sunday Undertones
The hex and RGB values place this color squarely in blue territory with a modest amount of green influence. It is not a warm blue and carries no violet lean. In rooms with northern or limited natural light, that green-blue character can become more noticeable, pushing the color toward a slightly teal-adjacent reading. In bright south-facing rooms, it stays truer and cleaner.
Where Lazy Sunday Works Best
Because its LRV sits just above the lower quarter of the scale, Lazy Sunday is a medium-dark color. It works well as a full room color in spaces where you want a settled, calm atmosphere, a bedroom, a library, a small den. It can also anchor a single accent wall without overwhelming a room. On exterior applications it reads as a confident mid-tone blue that holds up well against white trim.
Where to put Lazy Sunday
Lazy Sunday earns its name in a bedroom. The mid-depth blue tone reads quietly by lamplight, and the color's relative coolness keeps the room feeling restful rather than energized. Pair it with warm-toned wood furniture and off-white bedding to keep the space from feeling cold.
A room meant for focus benefits from a color this settled. Lazy Sunday at this depth gives the walls visual weight without the heaviness of a true navy. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in natural wood or painted white both work well against it.
In a bathroom with good artificial lighting, this blue can feel crisp and spa-like. Be aware that in a windowless or low-light bath it will darken considerably, so test a large sample under your actual lighting conditions before committing.
As a body color on siding, Lazy Sunday reads as a classic, slightly saturated blue that works particularly well with bright white or crisp cream trim. It holds its color well in direct sun and does not bleach out the way lighter blues can.

Colors that clash with Lazy Sunday
Blue and orange are complements, which sounds good in theory but at this saturation level the combination can feel jarring rather than energizing, especially in a small room.
Pairing a mid-tone blue wall with a blue-gray trim creates a low-contrast, visually flat result. The architecture of the room can disappear.
Lazy Sunday at LRV 27 is already a darker color. Set it against dark floors in a room without strong natural light and the space can feel closed in and heavy.
Common questions
The Benjamin Moore code is CC-846, the hex is #5E8FB6, and the precise LRV is 27.15, placing it in the medium-dark range where it will read noticeably deeper than most pastel or mid-tone blues.
Yes, it is available in both interior and exterior formulas across Benjamin Moore's finish lineup.
Yes, meaningfully so. In a south-facing room with warm daylight, it reads as a clear, confident blue. In a north-facing room with cooler indirect light, it can shift toward a deeper, slightly more teal-inflected tone. Sample it on your actual wall and observe it at different times of day before you commit.
An eggshell finish is the most practical choice for main living areas. It is easy to clean, does not show surface imperfections the way a flat finish can, and will not bounce light around the room the way a satin or semi-gloss would, which keeps the color's calm quality intact.
