Behr Riviera Paradise (530B-7): A Bold and Vibrant Blue for Elevated Spaces

Behr's Riviera Paradise (530B-7) is a striking, deep blue that exudes sophistication and energy. This color is reminiscent of the mesmerizing hues of a Mediterranean seaside, making it an ideal choice for homeowners and designers looking to bring a dramatic yet tranquil vibe into their spaces. With its luxuriously rich tone, Riviera Paradise has the power to anchor a room, transform a bland space into a statement, and evoke feelings of confidence and serenity.


Undertones of Riviera Paradise

Riviera Paradise features cool undertones that lean toward green, giving the color a slightly teal-like quality in certain lighting. This subtle complexity enhances its versatility, allowing it to adapt beautifully to both natural and artificial light. While the dominant deep blue remains consistent, the cool undertones provide an inviting depth that can make rooms feel larger and more dynamic.


Coordinating Colors for Riviera Paradise

To create a cohesive and visually appealing palette, consider pairing Riviera Paradise with complementary and harmonious shades:

  • Muted Neutrals: Soft whites like Behr's "Cameo White" (MQ3-32) or warm greys like "Silver Drop" (790C-2) create balance, letting Riviera Paradise shine as the focal point of your design.
  • Warm Accents: Add warmth and contrast with golden yellows like "Golden Aura" (P280-4) or terracotta tones like "Rustic Taupe" (PPU5-09). These shades inject energy into the space while creating a dynamic interplay with the blue.
  • Greens and Teals: Enhance the coastal vibe by pairing it with softer greens like "Pale Cucumber" (430C-2) or darker teals like "Tropical Tide" (520B-7).
  • Metallics: Accents in gold, brass, or brushed nickel elevate this color, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication.

Best Uses for Riviera Paradise

Riviera Paradise is a bold choice that lends itself to a variety of applications, from feature walls to full-room coverage. Here are some ideas to inspire your next project:

Design Tips for Riviera Paradise
