Blue to the Bone

V031-3

Blue to the Bone is a saturated teal with a crisp marine quality. The color is strong. It works well on a bathroom vanity, laundry cabinets, or a front door with pale siding.

Since the value is deep, it will not behave like an airy aqua. White tile and warm wood keep it readable. Very yellow lighting can push it greener.
