Ocean Air 2123-50: embodies the soft and airy hues of a clear sky meeting the calm sea. This works well in living rooms, dining rooms, and even hallways, bringing a fresh and open feel to spaces where you want a sense of flow and connection.
Yarmouth Blue HC-150: grasps the changing shades of the ocean as it meets the sky on a cloudy, overcast day. Yarmouth Blue would complement spaces like home offices or cozy dens–places where you can let your mind wander, focus, and maybe even catch a bit of inspiration.
Buxton Blue HC-149: resembles the soothing tones of a calm ocean under clear skies and reflects the tranquility of a calm sea. This shade doesn't just stop at calmness–it captures the lively spirit of coastal living too. And if you've got a bedroom with a view, you've just found your perfect match.
Sandy Neutrals
Simply White OC-117: brings to mind the softness of pristine sandy shores. Like the powdery sand beneath your toes, evoking a sense of comfort and creating an inviting atmosphere. It is an excellent choice for spaces like the living room or bedroom to provide a neutral backdrop for other coastal-inspired elements, such as artwork or decor.

Swiss Coffee OC-45: illustrates the creamy tones of sun-bleached driftwood exuding natural charm and a sense of weathered elegance. This brings a touch of rustic coastal style indoors and compliments well in the dining room or kitchen–creating a space that's perfect for sharing meals and conversations.
Ashwood OC-47: reflects the muted elegance of weathered rocks along the shore. Like the stones smoothed by the waves, this color adds depth and a sense of stability to your space. Ashwood is an excellent choice for a home office or study with its subtle richness to focus and let creativity flow.
