Back of Beyond

8002-42G

Back of Beyond lands as an inky blue-teal, very dark at first glance. LRV 7 is light-hungry. Put it on a painted exterior door, bath vanity, or dramatic built-in wall where contrast is planned.

Full rooms need multiple lamps and pale surfaces nearby. The green undertone shows best beside warm brass or white oak. In flat paint, this depth can look chalky and mark easily.
