Blue Tango

4007-10B

Blue Tango is a lively medium blue with a clear turquoise side. It moves quickly. A powder room vanity, accent door, or porch chair lets the color be the main event.

On full walls, it may feel energetic all day. A clear white surround helps the turquoise edge stay sharp. Natural cane or tan leather can give it some warmth without muddying the blue or dulling the freshness.

Blue Tango in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
