Harbour Blue

2026 Paint PaintSAP1069-45

Harbour Blue is a measured blue-grey with a coastal note, calm rather than bright. In Sanderson’s 2026 Paint range, it sits comfortably between blue and grey, giving a room a settled, usable character.

About this colour

This shade reads as a cool blue softened by grey, with the #6B90A2 value keeping it mid-depth and slightly muted. It lifts a wall more than a deep navy would, but it still absorbs enough light to feel grounded rather than pale. In a north-facing room it can turn more grey and restrained, which suits it well if you want a quieter wall colour. In south-facing light the blue comes forward and feels clearer and fresher, especially in Active Emulsion or Waterbased Eggshell where the finish keeps the colour even and practical on walls or woodwork. It sits well beside pale oak, painted joinery, chalky whites and upholstery in natural linen, indigo or muted green.

How to use it

Use Harbour Blue in a sitting room, study or bedroom where you want colour without glare. It is strong beside painted skirting, shelving and joinery, and it works neatly with timber furniture, checked curtains or upholstered pieces in stone, teal or weathered brown.

A quiet blue-grey that stays composed on the wall and works well across walls and woodwork.

Harbour 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.
