Flood Tide

5001-6A

Flood Tide is a deep coastal blue-green gray with a muted cast. The muted teal-gray depth benefits from lamps and pale counters. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, or exterior shutters when blue needs more restraint.

A shade this deep asks for pale contrast and useful lighting. Set it beside brushed nickel or warm oak. In dim corners, it can read more gray than teal. Boards help here.
