Brookdale Gardens

599

Brookdale Gardens is a soft turquoise with green undertones. Its LRV of 48.29 places it in the mid range, so it reads balanced in most lighting. It can be used in bathrooms, bedrooms, or sunrooms where a light blue-green is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for light contrast, and with Hale Navy or Newburyport Blue for depth; Palladian Blue or Wythe Blue can keep the palette in the blue-green family.

Brookdale Gardens 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.
