Alpine Forget Me Not

8003-47F

This dark smoky blue-violet has a cool gray base. It has mountain-shadow depth. LRV 12 makes it a dramatic choice for interiors, better on cabinetry, built-ins, or one snug room than a casual whole-house color.

Clean white trim gives it needed relief. Brass warms the violet edge. In dim corners, it can read close to navy charcoal, so plan more than overhead lighting.
