Boutonniere

V069-3

Boutonniere is a fresh light blue with a lively aqua edge. Its aqua edge gives small baths a cleaner, brighter lift. Baths, laundry rooms, and cheerful bedrooms are natural fits, especially with white tile and light oak.

On full walls, it may look brighter than expected because the saturation is clear. Use a creamy trim white for softness. Avoid muddy beige fabrics that can make the blue feel too sweet.

Boutonniere 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.
