Precious Stone

M470-6

Precious Stone is a medium deep teal blue with a green mineral cast. It feels strong. A bath vanity, built-in cabinet, or compact office can carry it when navy feels expected.

In wall paint, it deepens quickly in shaded corners. Try warm white trim, brass, or light stone. In satin, the color keeps more life and handles touch better. That sheen choice matters on busy doors.

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.
