Lunar Tide

6006-3B

Lunar Tide reads as a mellow cream with a soft yellow-beige base. Its yellow beige cast gives shaded walls a soft straw glow. It suits living rooms or bedrooms where a plain white would feel thin against wood floors.

In shaded spaces, it may settle into a muted straw neutral instead of looking bright. Warm white trim, woven shades, or honed limestone suit it. Cool gray tile calls for a large test board before trusting the chip.

Lunar Tide 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.
