Shimmering Pool

P440-1

Shimmering Pool is a very light aqua green with a watery blue cast. Freshness comes first. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, and porch ceilings where a pale clean color feels natural.

White tilework or light maple keeps the palette simple. Because it is quite bright, it can look almost mint-white in strong daylight. Warm beige stone may pull it greener, so test beside counters and floors.

Shimmering Pool 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.
