Comet

1628

Comet is a mid-tone blue with gray undertones and moderate saturation. Its LRV of 36.27 gives it moderate depth in most lighting. It fits offices, bedrooms, or media rooms where a cool blue is desired for larger walls.

Stonington Gray and Silver Mist create a cool neutral scheme. Black Beauty adds strong contrast, while Palladian Blue offers a softer adjacent tone.

Comet 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.
