Mirror Lake

M520-4

Mirror Lake is a medium-light blue with a clear sky-and-water feeling. It has freshness. Paint it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or a mudroom where blue should feel optimistic rather than navy.

At LRV 63, it keeps walls lively without making the room dark. Crisp white trim defines the edge. Warm wood and woven baskets stop it from feeling cold. In gray daylight, the blue becomes softer and more muted.

Mirror Lake 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 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.
