Adrift at Sea

8004-34F

Adrift at Sea is a dark sea-gray green with a subdued blue undertone. The maritime feel is moody. It can anchor a powder room, built-ins, or a front door, especially when nearby trim is warm white.

LRV 17 puts it in dark territory, so full rooms need layered lighting. In shadow, it may read close to charcoal. Pair with brass, pale stone, or natural wood to keep the color from feeling flat.

Adrift at 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.
