Blue Colors
Clients bring in blue when they want calm, but the fan deck range is wide. Blue runs from pale gray blue to deep navy and violet leaning royal tones, with green, gray, or purple undertones showing up in bedrooms, baths, offices, siding, and cabinets.

Using blue in your home
Use blue where daylight and fixed finishes can support the undertone: bedrooms, baths, offices, kitchen islands, or exterior shutters. North light sharpens blue and can make it feel cooler. South light warms it and softens gray blue. Pair with warm white trim, oak, walnut, linen, brass, or charcoal. Blue changes fast. A chip that looked gentle can turn icy on a large north wall.
