Plymouth Blue

PPG13-27

Plymouth Blue is a deep blue-green with a smoky teal cast. Deep teal needs pale edges. The color works well on built-ins, bathroom vanities, or a front door where a standard navy would feel too formal.

Wrapped around a room, Plymouth Blue will darken the room quickly. Add pale trim and enough lamplight. Aged brass pulls out the green. White oak makes it feel more coastal. A cool gray floor may push it toward steely blue.
