About this colour

At #415968, Hicks' Blue reads as a medium-dark blue-grey with a cool cast and enough depth to hold a room together. It absorbs more light than it reflects, so it can make large walls feel more enclosed and intimate without turning heavy. In a north-facing room it will lean cooler and more slate-like, while in south light the blue comes forward a little and the grey softens. It sits neatly beside pale stone, warm white trim, dark timber and upholstery in natural linen, wool or leather tones.

How to use it

Use Hicks' Blue in a sitting room, study or dining room where you want the walls to feel settled and a little formal. It works well with painted joinery, walnut or oak woodwork, and upholstered pieces in oatmeal, camel or deep navy.

A calm blue-grey on the wall that gives a room quiet depth.
