Rising Tide

4008-3A

Rising Tide is a pale cool gray with a green whisper. It feels like cool morning light. Give it room in baths, bedrooms, or laundry rooms where freshness matters.

Its wall value keeps small rooms open. For Rising Tide, White tile plus pale oak. If the room has beige counters, sample both together so the coolness does not clash. White towels sharpen it.

Rising 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.
