Blue Lobster

V033-3

Blue Lobster is a bold teal-blue with a strong aquatic cast. Expect drama. It has the depth for a powder room, exterior door, or painted bar area, especially beside a creamy white frame.

LRV 15 keeps it from feeling airy, even though this bright chroma reads lively. Matte finishes may show handprints, so choose sheen carefully on doors and cabinets.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
