About aqua
Aqua is the soft, pale teal-blue named after water — cooler than seafoam, more saturated than mint, with a clean equal balance of blue and green that reads spa-like rather than tropical.
Spec aqua on bathroom walls, laundry-room cabinetry, beach-house bedrooms, and porch ceilings. Pair with creamy whites, woven seagrass, unlacquered brass, and pale oak — chrome reads too clinical. LRV in the 50s makes it bright in daylight but prone to greying under cool LEDs, so commit to warm 2700K bulbs. Try BM Spectra Blue or SW Tidewater.
