Opaline
Sherwin-Williams's Opaline is a blue shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. Its brighter saturation keeps the hue present and expressive, even when the overall color is pale. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
