Blue Raindrop

4005-5A

Blue Raindrop brings a pale, rainy blue-gray that feels fresh and slightly cool. The softness saves it. It can be useful in a bath, laundry room, or small bedroom where white alone feels unfinished.

Strong daylight brings out the blue, and shaded corners pull it grayer. Use off-white trim with warm floors. Crisp white will make the color feel cleaner.

Blue Raindrop 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.

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.
