Woad
Blues Paint
Woad is a Little Greene blue with a restrained, slate-leaning character. It feels composed and architectural rather than bright, with enough depth to hold a room together.

About this colour
This shade of #436382 reads as a muted blue with grey-green undertones, so it stays cool without turning harsh. On a wall it absorbs a fair amount of light, giving a room a settled, enclosed feel rather than a reflective one. In a north-facing room it can look more shadowed and slate-like, with the green-grey note coming forward. In south-facing light it lifts slightly and shows more of its blue side, though it remains serious rather than airy. It sits well beside pale oak, dark walnut, chalky whites, and woven neutrals, and it is strong enough for both walls and woodwork.
How to use it
Woad suits a study, sitting room, or dining room where you want colour with depth. It works neatly with painted trim, natural wood furniture, and upholstery in stone, oatmeal, rust, or warm grey tones.
On a wall, Woad reads as a calm, cool blue with a grounded, darker finish.
