Puttin' on the Ritz

8003-47E

Puttin' on the Ritz is a smoky blue violet with a tailored gray cast. It has polish. A dining room, study, or built in cabinet can use the color well, especially with warm lighting.

Since it is deep, add lighter trim or reflective hardware. Cream upholstery and dark wood make the blue side feel elegant. Test it at night before committing.
