Summer Nights

777

Summer Nights is a deep blue-green with restrained undertones that read cool and controlled. With a low LRV of 10.82, it absorbs most light, making it appropriate for accent walls or low-light spaces. It is often used in studies, dining rooms, or bedrooms where darker colors are intentional.

The color maintains depth under both warm and cool lighting. It pairs effectively with White Dove and Simply White for contrast. Muted greens like Saybrook Sage or neutrals such as Gray Owl create softer combinations, while Kendall Charcoal increases intensity.

Summer Nights 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.
