Blue Twilight

5001-1C

Blue Twilight is a medium gray with a faint blue-green cast. The blue stays restrained. It can work in a hall, office, or exterior scheme where a cooler gray is needed without going icy.

Because the color has modest depth, trim contrast matters. Warm white, limestone, or black metal can frame it. In heavy shade, expect a flatter gray impression.
