North Sea
There is more to PPG North Sea (PPG1239-6) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. An LRV of 18 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.

North Sea's Color Strip
North Sea is the sixth shade on this 7-color strip, sitting between Quiet Night and Rave Regatta. The strip spans from Wavecrest at the lightest end to Rave Regatta at the deepest. Color strip PPG1239 groups these shades together so you can see how each reads next to its neighbors.
Coordinating Colors
At LRV 66 vs 18, Alpaca Wool is decisively the brighter choice.
Trim Color
Delicate White reflects far more light (LRV 88 vs 18), opening up a space where North Sea encloses it.
