Rainbow Bright

PPG1243-7

Rainbow Bright is a saturated blue with a strong cobalt character. The cobalt base announces itself fast. Rainbow Bright suits a front door, kids' room, or accent cabinet when clear blue is part of the plan.

Used on every wall, Rainbow Bright will dominate quickly and needs white trim for relief. Warm bulbs can deepen the blue after sunset. Pair Rainbow Bright with natural wood or red accents only in small doses. A tiny chip will understate its force.

Rainbow Bright 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.
