Sunrise
What Sunrise Actually Looks Like
Sunrise 829 is a medium blue-gray, sitting comfortably between a sky blue and a slate. It reads as genuinely blue in most conditions, with enough gray in the mix to keep it grounded and livable rather than loud. The tone is calm and relatively neutral within the blue family.
Sunrise Undertones
The color carries cool undertones that lean slightly toward gray. There is no meaningful warmth here. In strong natural light it can brighten toward a cleaner, lighter blue. In dim or artificial light it tends to settle into a more muted, dusty quality. North-facing rooms may push it noticeably cooler and grayer.
Where Sunrise Works Best
Because it sits at a mid-range depth, Sunrise 829 works well in rooms where you want color presence without going dark. Bedrooms and living rooms are natural fits. It holds up on exterior siding in coastal or transitional-style homes, which aligns with its availability in both interior and exterior formulas.
Where to put Sunrise
The calm, cool quality of Sunrise 829 makes it well suited to a bedroom. It does not demand attention, and in east or south light it stays fresh without feeling cold. Keep bedding and textiles on the warmer side to prevent the room from feeling too cool at night under artificial light.
In a living room with good natural light, Sunrise 829 gives you real color without overwhelming the space. Lean on warm-toned furniture in wood, leather, or linen to balance the cool gray-blue and keep the room from feeling stark.
Sunrise 829 is available in an exterior formula, and it earns its place there. On siding it reads as a composed, classic blue-gray that suits coastal, craftsman, and transitional architecture. Pair it with a clean white trim and dark hardware for clear definition.

Colors that clash with Sunrise
If your flooring, cabinetry, or fixed elements run strongly golden or orange-yellow, the cool gray-blue of Sunrise 829 will fight rather than complement them. The contrast reads as conflict, not balance.
In a north-facing room with limited artificial warmth, Sunrise 829 can shift noticeably grayer and cooler than it looks on the chip. The blue quality may recede and the color can feel flat or cold.
Common questions
The LRV is 47.96, which places it solidly in mid-range territory. It is neither a light pastel nor a deep shade. You will get real color on the wall, but it will not darken a room the way a deep navy or charcoal would.
Yes. It is available in both interior and exterior formulas, so you can use it on siding or other outdoor surfaces as well as inside.
The hex and RGB values are displayed in the color spec block on this page. Use those for digital reference rather than estimating from a screen, since monitor calibration varies.
Yes, meaningfully so. In warm artificial light the gray component becomes more prominent and the blue quiets down. In bright daylight, especially south or west exposure, the blue comes forward and the color feels fresher and lighter. Always sample it on your actual walls and view it at different times of day before committing.
