When Worlds Collide

8003-48F

When Worlds Collide is a very dark blue violet with a smoky charcoal base. The blue-violet base shows best on millwork with warm lamps nearby. A media room, powder bath, built-ins, or an exterior door can use it when black feels too flat.

At LRV 9, it needs strong contrast and intentional lighting. Cream trim, brass, or pale stone keep it legible. In daylight, the blue side becomes more apparent.
