Indigo Cloth

4009-7

Indigo Cloth is an inky dark blue with a green-gray undertone. Depth leads. Use it on cabinetry, a front door, or a moody study wall where depth matters.

LRV 6 puts it near the deepest end, so plan lighting before using it broadly. Crisp white trim makes the blue visible. Warm oak keeps it from feeling too cold. Flat paint will mark more easily on this much darkness.

Indigo Cloth 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
