Using slate blue in your home
Slate Blue needs neighbors that respect its purple undertone. Use it in bedrooms, offices, guest rooms, or a small bath with warm white, mushroom, pewter, walnut, or muted brass. North light pulls it cooler and more violet. South light softens the gray. Check your flooring in daylight. Yellow oak can make Alpine Breeze and Slate Blue look more purple than expected.

Slate Blue is blue with a violet cast. In cool light, that purple side becomes more obvious.
