Glidden
North Sea
PPG1239-6
Larger rooms need enough daylight to keep the color open. White trim will make it crisp. Natural rattan or sandy tile keeps it from feeling too sharp.
Color Codes
North Sea 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
40.9LRV 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.
