Mazarine

At #235580, Mazarine reads as a saturated blue with a cool base and a slight softened depth, so it sits firmly in the darker end of the palette. On a wall it absorbs a fair amount of light, which gives it a contained, enveloping look rather than a reflective one. In north-facing rooms it can feel more inky and sober, with the blue leaning cooler and quieter. In south-facing light it opens a little, showing more of its blue clarity while still keeping that deep, grounded character. It sits well beside pale oak, walnut, chalky whites, and textured upholstery in stone, flax, or indigo tones.

Use Mazarine in a sitting room, library, or hallway where you want the wall colour to hold its own beside timber and upholstery. It works well with painted joinery, dark-stained woodwork, and curtains or chairs in natural linen, navy, or muted teal.
