Low Tide

8003-39F

Low Tide is a dark smoky teal-gray with a blue-green undertone. It feels moody and coastal. Built-ins, shutters, or a powder room can feel grounded without using navy.

LRV 13 means full walls need strong lighting and pale relief. Warm white trim outlines it cleanly. Driftwood suits the coastal side. In shaded rooms, it may read more charcoal than teal.
