Kauai
Behr's Kauai is a blue shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. An LRV of 36.9 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.

In a compact setting where tile, fixtures and color sit close together, the most interesting quality of Kauai (P430-4) may be the way it responds to tile, stone, glass, timber and metal fixtures. Its green undertone may become clearest at the boundary between paint and a contrasting finish.
Bathroom tiles pop against walls painted in tropical Kauai blue.
