BL-W01
Warm trim makes the blue-green side more visible. Laundry spaces can use its clean lift. Clean white tile keeps it airy. Low daylight can turn it slightly gray. Grout color matters, so place the sample next to tile before deciding.
Color Codes
Calm in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
90.5LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
