Haiku Blue

V067-1

Haiku Blue is a pale aqua-blue with a soft, watery quality. It breathes. Use it in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or porch ceilings where cool freshness makes sense.

Its comfortable lightness lets it cover more wall area than a stronger teal. In shade, it becomes a quieter blue-gray. Pair with white tile or pale maple. Cream trim will warm it, but too much yellow nearby can dull the blue.

Haiku Blue 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.
