Clearlake

738

Clearlake is an intense sky blue with a noticeable green undertone and medium saturation. With an LRV of 54.48, it reads mid-light and stays clear in bright rooms. It works in bathrooms, kitchens, or accent walls where a saturated blue-green is acceptable.

Mountain Mist and Soft Fern create a related palette. Chantilly Lace keeps trim bright, while Hale Navy adds a darker counterpoint.

Clearlake 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.
