Lady in Waiting

8001-41B

Lady in Waiting is a light, clear aqua-blue with a soft sky quality. The aqua cast keeps it breezy. A bathroom, craft room, or porch ceiling can use the brightness without turning gray.

On full walls, the blue is easy to see, especially beside warm trim. White tile keeps it crisp. Polished nickel sharpens the watery side. South-facing rooms need a sample check before afternoon light takes over.
