Summer Lake reads as a dramatic medium, saturated cool blue, shaped by its steely blue undertones. With an LRV of 38, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. The closest cross-brand match is Sherwin-Williams's Danube, an extremely close match. PPG's North Sea is another strong alternative. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
