Azure Water

677

Azure Water is a teal that balances blue and green with a cool, jade-leaning undertone. Its LRV of 29.49 indicates moderate depth, so it will read darker in dim areas. The green component becomes more apparent under warm artificial light.

It works well in bathrooms, bedrooms, or offices where a blue-green wall color is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Cloud White for light neutrals, and use Palladian Blue or Hale Navy for coordinated contrast.

Azure Water 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.
