Pat-a-Pep

8001-43F

Pat-a-Pep is a deep clear blue with a strong, saturated body. It does not whisper. Use it for a front door, powder room vanity, or accent wall where bold color belongs.

White trim adds a crisp nautical edge. Warm wood keeps it less sporty. Because the color carries depth, flat paint can show marks quickly. Satin is the better call for touch-heavy surfaces.
