About this colour

This shade sits between blue and green, with the greyed depth of #B1C7BB keeping it calm and easy to live with. It reflects light well without feeling pale, so it lifts a room while still holding enough colour to give walls presence. In north-facing light it can lean cooler and more misted, with the green note becoming quieter. In south-facing rooms it feels lighter and fresher, with a clearer blue-green character and a little more warmth in the daylight. It works neatly beside pale oak, painted joinery in off-white, and upholstery in natural linens, creams, and muted sage or denim tones.

How to use it

Use it in sitting rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where you want a quiet colour that stays close to nature. It pairs well with walnut, ash, and upholstered pieces in stone, flax, or deep navy.
