What color is Little Greene Aquamarine - Light?

Little Greene Aquamarine - Light 283 is a very pale, softened green with a faint cool blue cast and a lightly greyed appearance. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted color prevents it from reading as overly sweet or minty. In daylight, this shade can appear clean and fresh; under warmer lamps, its green undertone becomes gentler and more subdued. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and north-facing rooms where a light color with some visible character is welcome. Pair Aquamarine - Light with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or deeper blue-green accents for definition.
