Moonglow

8002-45C

Moonglow is a medium light blue grounded by soft gray. It reads calm but clearly blue. Bedrooms, bathrooms, or a polished nursery can carry it better than a sweeter pastel.

The depth stands up to white trim. Warm wood prevents the room from feeling cold. In evening light, the gray side becomes stronger. Pair it with brushed nickel or woven shades.

Moonglow 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.
