Summer Rain

8003-41B

Summer Rain is a soft blue with a gray wash, more rainwater than robin egg. It keeps its calm. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a quiet office where pale blue needs to feel grown up.

It sits near the comfortable light range, so it will reflect daylight but still show color. Pair with white oak, nickel, or simple linen.

Summer Rain 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.
