Voicenotes

This shade sits in the lighter end of the palette, with enough grey in it to keep the blue-green tone gentle and settled on a wall. In north-facing light it can look cooler and a touch more silvered, while in south-facing rooms the green side comes forward and it feels fresher and more open. It reflects a good amount of light, so it helps smaller rooms feel less enclosed without becoming stark. Against crisp white woodwork it looks clean and modern, and beside natural oak, pale ash, linen-look upholstery or muted stripes it feels easy and balanced. The Flat Matt and Claypaint finishes will suit walls, while Eggshell and Soft Sheen make sense on joinery where you want the same colour carried through.

Voicenotes works well in bedrooms, studies and light-filled sitting rooms where a quiet blue is wanted on the walls. It pairs neatly with pale timber, chalky whites and upholstered pieces in stone, grey, sage or muted denim tones.
