Hawaiian Sky

PPU14-07

Hawaiian Sky is a medium light blue with a softened gray-violet cast. The gray-violet cast keeps the blue from turning nursery sweet. Hawaiian Sky can suit a bedroom, bath, or porch ceiling when a true sky blue would look too sweet.

On walls, it becomes clearer beside warm trim. White bedding and brushed nickel provide quiet contrast. Beige carpet may make the coolness feel slightly chalky. Sample near flooring before painting the whole room.

LRV 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.
