Duck's Egg Blue
PPG1239-2
Use it in baths, bedrooms, or kitchens where a gentle color should still feel airy. Use a warm white trim if there is cool tile. Warm woods and unlacquered brass make it less coastal. In north light, the blue side may sharpen, so sample beside tile and countertop finishes.
