Stardust Evening

MQ4-31

Stardust Evening is a light periwinkle with a blue-violet center. Try it in a bedroom, craft room, or ceiling where a pale blue needs more depth than sky blue. clean trim keeps the shade clean, and gray linen lowers the sweetness.

Warm lamps can bring out the violet at night. When the room has yellow oak flooring, test a larger sample because the contrast can make the color pop. It feels calm, not neutral.
