Lighthouse Shadows

4008-3B

Lighthouse Shadows is a light slate-blue softened by gray. It feels coastal in a restrained way. The color can work in baths, bedrooms, or a quiet office where gray needs more air.

White trim makes the blue cleaner. Warm wood keeps the slate approachable. In shaded rooms, it can cool down noticeably, so sample it beside the main fabric and flooring.
