Fingals Cave

M338

Fingals Cave is an inky teal-blue with mineral depth. It needs strong light. A front door, built-in shelving, or a powder room wall can carry the drama.

On all walls, it will pull the room inward. Satin finish helps the blue-green show instead of going flat. Warm white trim or pale stone keeps the edges readable. Chrome makes it cooler and sharper.

Fingals Cave 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.
