How it reads
Despite the name, Catalina Blue lives in the soft territory where blue meets green. It is a muted, sea-glass color — grey enough to stay calm, green enough to feel coastal — that shifts between blue and sage depending on the light it's given.
On a cloudy day it cools toward grey-blue; in warm light it greens up and softens. That movement is the point: it is a restful, room-sized color for bedrooms, studies and cabinetry where you want depth without weight.

Questions
Is Catalina Blue blue or green?
Both, depending on light. It is a muted blue-green that reads more blue in cool light and more sage in warm light.
Where does Catalina Blue work?
Bedrooms, studies and cabinetry. Its mid LRV gives it presence without going dark, and the green lean keeps it warm and restful.
