A porch ceiling is a classic spot for this kind of blue-green. On large walls, the blue-green side becomes more visible than on the strip. It works best with clean whites and silvery metal. Creamy cabinets can dull it, so test the sample directly against fixed finishes.

Fresh Dawn 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
75.0LRV 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.
