Aquaverde's Color Strip

Aquaverde is the third shade on this 7-color strip, sitting between Watery and Drizzle. The strip spans from Tidewater at the lightest end to Cape Verde at the deepest. Color strip 170 groups these shades together so you can see how each reads next to its neighbors.

Aquaverde in Real Rooms

Aquaverde has a medium-high LRV of 48.93 — present enough to register on the wall without making a room feel heavy. It's cool-toned and , so it will lean blue or gray under cool north-facing light and soften in warmer evening light. Grouped in the Blue family, the photos below show it applied in a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen cabinets, living room and misc.

Pairing Aquaverde with tonal textures—like a silk rug or a bouclé chair—creates a layered, monochromatic look that is the height of sophistication for a bedroom. It proves that you don't need high-contrast colors to create a room that feels high-design and deeply personal.

Using Aquaverde on a bathroom vanity is a clever way to introduce color without painting the walls. It creates a sophisticated anchor for the room, especially when topped with a thick white quartz or a contrasting dark stone.

1 Kitchen Cabinets Photo

Choosing Aquaverde for cabinets allows you to be more adventurous with your tile and stone choices. Because the cabinetry is so well-grounded, it can balance out a heavily veined marble or a colorful geometric backsplash without the room feeling "busy."

1 Living Room Photo

Aquaverde anchors the living room with a quiet, architectural confidence. Its depth shifts subtly through the day — cooler in the crisp morning light and significantly warmer by lamplight in the evening — making it a natural fit for a space meant for both high-energy gathering and silent unwinding. To maximize the effect, layer in natural white oak, heavy linen, and soft metallics to let the color truly breathe.
