North Star is a calming and adaptable blue-gray, reminiscent of a twilight sky just as the first stars begin to appear. Its serene quality makes it a fantastic choice for bedrooms or bathrooms where the goal is to create a peaceful retreat.

This paint color shifts subtly with the light, sometimes appearing more blue and at other times revealing its gentle gray undertones, which is why we recommend pairing North Star with crisp white trim and natural wood accents to enhance its tranquil nature.
