Azure Tide

SW 9684

Azure Tide SW 9684 delivers rich blue at a medium-to-deep value, with a clear coastal direction. It can define a built-in or small room and still stop well before navy's near-black depth. Pale sand tones reduce the contrast.

Crisp white produces a more graphic scheme.

Azure Tide 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.
