Views shifts between blue and green depending on the light source, which a bathroom reviewer specifically noted, seeing both qualities on the walls and ceiling of the same room depending on angle and time of day. In bright, natural daylight, the cool undertone reads clearly and the color sits at a balanced robin's egg quality. Under warm incandescent or LED lighting or in lower-light rooms, the green quality can come forward slightly. One reviewer who used it in a basement apartment with minimal natural light found it both cozy and airy, deep enough to have presence, light enough not to close the space in. Sampling in the actual space before committing to a full gallon is always recommended, which is why Clare offers Peel-and-Stick Swatches.

For shades adjacent to Views, consider Headspace, which reads as a lighter, airier blue-green at LRV 60 with more of a spa quality, or Make Waves, which pulls grayer and more muted at LRV 31 with shifting undertones. For a more tropical, vivid version of the blue-green direction, Vacay goes brighter and more saturated at LRV 32. Summer Friday is a similar medium depth but leans more purely blue with less green. Clare's Peel-and-Stick Swatches make it easy to compare these blue-greens side by side before committing.

For small bedrooms, high-LRV colors (LRV 55 and above) open up the space and make it feel larger. Clare On Point, Whipped and Timeless all work well in smaller bedrooms. Soft warm neutrals in the greige and warm beige families add coziness without closing the space in. For small bedrooms where drama is the goal, low-LRV colors like Deep Dive or Current Mood work beautifully when balanced with strong light sources and light-colored furnishings.

Yes. Clare paint is zero VOC and GREENGUARD Gold Certified, meaning it meets rigorous standards for chemical emissions and indoor air quality. GREENGUARD Gold certification specifically evaluates products for use in environments with vulnerable populations, including children. Clare paint is a safe choice for nurseries, children's bedrooms, playrooms, and any space where indoor air quality is a priority.

Clare offers both wall paint (eggshell) and trim paint (semi-gloss) for each color, making it easy to use the same color throughout a space with the right finish for each surface. Using wall paint on trim or cabinets reduces durability; semi-gloss is the recommended choice for any surface that sees frequent contact or cleaning.
