About coastal color palettes
Coastal works best when you pick one shade to lead and let the rest support it — a soft white for trim, a quiet neutral to rest the eye, and one deeper tone for contrast.
If you're starting from scratch, choose the coastal shade you're drawn to as your anchor, then build the rest of the room around it in lighter and deeper steps. Always test it where it's going to live — tape up a big swatch and check it in daylight and under lamps — because coastal can look quite different on a real wall than on a screen.
