Champlain Blue

HDC-CL-26

Champlain Blue is deep slate blue with a gray navy base, steady enough for a study or exterior shutter. Rooms with little daylight may show charcoal first. Pale trim helps the blue appear along edges.

A media room can use the depth with enough lamps. Satin finish is useful on doors and built-ins. Brass and light oak keep the shade from feeling severe. It needs contrast.
