Sweet Dreams

847

Sweet Dreams is an ultra-light blue-green with balanced undertones that prevent it from leaning strongly in either direction. With an LRV of 75.75, it reflects a high amount of light and reads open on walls. This shade is suitable for bedrooms, nurseries, and bathrooms.

It pairs easily with White Heron and Quiet Moments for continuity. For contrast, Hale Navy or Aegean Teal provide depth.

Sweet Dreams 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.
