Lazy Blue sits in the teal family: light in tone, vivid in saturation, cool in cast. To deepen it, Dull Blue is the darker step in the same Scale75 range. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Citadel Baharroth Blue closest at 80 percent. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
