What Color Is Clear Pond, Really?
Clear Pond reads as a cool blue-green tone — light — bounces daylight without going clinical. The notes below cover how Behr PPU13-15 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Clear Pond
Clear Pond is an easy whole-room color for living spaces and bedrooms, and light enough to carry onto trim or a ceiling if you want a soft, seamless look. Teals add character without shouting — good for a vanity, an island or a feature wall.
How Lighting Changes Clear Pond
At LRV 57, Clear Pond is a light color that bounces daylight around a room without tipping into stark white. Its teal undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. It holds its undertone in most exposures, which is what makes light shades like this so forgiving room to room.
Most complaints about Clear Pond are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
