Bottlenose Dolphin

V112-3

Bottlenose Dolphin is a dark blue-gray, more charcoal than playful blue. It feels compact. Use it for doors, cabinets, or exterior trim where a softer black is needed.

LRV 14 means it will not bounce much light, so surround it with brighter finishes. Brushed nickel sharpens the cool side. Warm wood keeps it from feeling too industrial or severe.

Bottlenose Dolphin 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.
