Blue Tulle

P036

Blue Tulle is a pale, veiled blue softened by gray. It stays pretty. Use it for bedrooms, baths, or ceilings where the color should feel light but not blank.

It can look cooler beside bright white trim and slightly cozier with ivory. In rooms with little daylight, the gray may take over. A sample board will show that shift better than a tiny swatch.

Blue Tulle 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.
