Bahama Waters

576

Bahama Waters is a light green with cool undertones that keep it crisp. The LRV of 68.89 is high, so it reflects substantial light and reads bright in most rooms. The green reads stronger under warm lamps.

It is suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, or small rooms where a light green is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Simply White for clean neutrals, and use Quiet Moments or Hale Navy for contrast.
