Bora Bora Shore

SW 9045

Bora Bora Shore (SW, #92D0D0) is a cool blue with a discernible green shift, placing it in the blue-green family rather than a pure blue. With an LRV of 56, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a bright, open mid-tone on walls. The green undertone becomes more apparent under warm artificial lighting.

It coordinates well with Snowbound or Topsail for a tonal cool scheme, while warmer contrasts like Coral Clay or Tricorn Black provide definition. Analogous greens such as Aloe reinforce its blue-green character without competing.
