How it reads
Sea Salt is a soft green-grey that changes its mind with the light: green in a sunny room, blue-grey in a shaded one. At LRV 63 it is light enough for a whole room and quiet enough to live with for years, which is why it has become a modern classic for bedrooms and bathrooms.
It is happiest with white and natural texture — linen, limestone, pale oak. Against cream it looks greener; against cool white it looks bluer. Its chameleon quality is a feature, but sample it in the room you mean to paint.
