Offshore Mist

PPU13-16

Offshore Mist is a misted pale blue with a clean gray veil. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or laundry rooms where a cool neutral should still have color. Beige tile pushes the blue forward.

The pale value keeps it from turning heavy, but low daylight can leave it flatter. White trim and brushed nickel suit it. Warm beige tile can push the blue forward, so sample on the same wall plane.

Offshore Mist 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.
