Essence of the Sea is a very light, cool blue with balanced undertones that give it a soothing quality. With an LRV of 89, it brightens interiors with a refreshing feel, ideal for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit bedrooms. Looking across brands, Behr's Ash Blue comes in as a near-identical match. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
