Aster

8002-41C

Aster is a clear blue-gray with a cool, airy cast. It is stronger than a whisper. It can brighten a bath, guest room, or porch ceiling and still feel grown-up.

At wall scale, beige fabrics make the blue more obvious. Crisp trim keeps the color clean. Warm lamps will soften it at night, but they will not erase the cool undertone.
