Deep Water

8002-38G

Deep Water is an inky blue green with a cool aquatic pull. It feels inky. Deep Water suits a vanity, built-in bar, or exterior door where a small area can carry saturation.

The value is low enough to demand strong contrast. Warm white paint and pale stone keep it from going black. Try Deep Water near natural materials already in the room.

Deep Water 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.
