Behr Crashing Waves S450-4 is a muted blue-gray with a lightly weathered, airy look. Its blue character is softened by gray, while a subtle green cast keeps it from reading icy or overly nautical. In bright daylight, the color can appear cleaner and more blue; under warmer lamps, its gray undertone becomes more noticeable. Use Crashing Waves on bedroom, bathroom, or home office walls with crisp white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed nickel. It also makes a restrained cabinet color alongside warm white counters and natural stone.
