Crocus has brightness around 42%. It sits in the middle, so it can work in both darker and brighter rooms if you balance the lighting.

You can match Crocus with simple whites for trim and ceiling, or with nearby neutrals from the same brand. The similar colors and complementary colors on this page are a good starting point for pairing.

Crocus works well as an accent on one or two walls, in cozy rooms, or in spaces with stronger daylight where a deeper color will not feel heavy.

Crocus is softer than a pure untinted white. The cool undertone and mid tone color feel more gentle on the eye, so it tends to look calmer and less stark on large walls.
