Courteous is a very light, cool blue with neutral undertones that give it a sophisticated quality. With an LRV of 88, it keeps spaces feeling open and airy, working well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and coastal-inspired rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Dunn-Edwards's Snowy Shadow is an extremely close match. Valspar's Cool Morning runs close as well. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
