Smoky Violet

V073-5

Smoky Violet is a deep denim blue with a muted violet gray cast. The denim-violet base gives millwork a tailored edge. It can work on built-ins, a bedroom wall, or a small office where a strong blue still needs restraint.

Leather and warm white trim give it a steady pairing. In low light, the violet tucks into the shadow. A satin finish on millwork will show the color better than flat paint.
