How Pacific Sea Teal changes with the light

North-facing rooms
Pacific Sea Teal will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Pacific Sea Teal will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
