About this colour

This colour reads as a cool, pale blue with a soft grey note, so it lifts a room without feeling sharp. In north-facing light it can look a little more muted and misty, with the grey holding it steady. In south-facing light the blue comes forward more clearly and feels cleaner and brighter, while still staying gentle. It sits well beside white-painted joinery, pale oak, and natural linens, and the Waterbased Eggshell finish will suit woodwork where a smoother, understated look is wanted.

How to use it

Use Boy Blue in a bedroom, landing, or sitting room where you want a calm wall colour that still feels open. It works neatly with white trim, painted cabinetry, and upholstery in stone, oatmeal, denim, or soft grey tones.

A pale, cool blue like this keeps walls feeling light and easy to live with.

Boy Blue is a wall colour, so these are the cloths that sit against it: one of them on the curtains, the paint behind. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
