Dover Surf

P103

Dover Surf is a pale surf blue, muted by gray and green. Dover Surf feels misty. Dover Surf suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and coastal entries where a quiet cool color is enough.

In shade, it can lean more gray than blue. Finish the room with warm white trim, pale stone, or weathered wood. A sample door can reveal whether Dover Surf wants sheen.

Dover Surf 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.
