Barking Creek

V110-3

Barking Creek is a pale blue with a clean gray base. It feels fresh but not childish. The hue works in bathrooms, bedrooms, and coastal-leaning spaces when the furnishings stay grounded.

At room scale, it shows a soft sky quality. Pair with white trim, warm wood, or navy accents. Beige carpet can mute the blue, so test where flooring reflection is strongest.
