Chintz

8002-43F

Chintz is a dark blue with a teal-green undertone and real depth. Contrast is necessary here. Pale walls, bright trim, or light stone will help the blue stay visible.

In a dim room, it may close down quickly. Use satin on cabinets or trim so the surface catches enough light to show the color. Deep shades need that planning.

Chintz 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.
