Splashy

At first glance, Splashy belongs to the blue family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. An LRV of 21.2 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.

The blue hue classifications suggest the subtle directions the color may take as the room changes. In this setting, let direct sun, porch shade and evening exterior light and hardware, glazing, masonry, timber and surrounding trim guide the final sample decision.
