Frosty Margarita

V021-1

Frosty Margarita is a bright yellow-green cream, light enough to bounce plenty of light. The citrus note shows. It can cheer up a laundry room, pantry, or casual sunroom, especially with white shelves and pale wood.

Across large walls, it may read more green than the strip suggests. Pair with natural fiber shades. Avoid cool gray counters when the goal is a soft, fresh neutral.

Frosty Margarita 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.
