Whitstable Blue

2026 Paint PaintSAP1146-45

Whitstable Blue is a quiet, sea-washed blue-green from Sanderson’s 2026 Paint collection. It feels fresh and settled at once, with a pale, chalky look that sits easily in a house with natural materials.

About this colour

In this #C3CEC8 shade, Whitstable Blue reads as a muted blue-grey with a clear green note, so it stays soft rather than icy. It reflects light well without looking bright, which makes it useful in smaller rooms where you want colour without weight. In north-facing light it can take on a cooler, more misty character, while south-facing rooms bring out its gentler green warmth. On walls it feels calm and tailored, and on woodwork in Waterbased Eggshell it gives a neat, restrained finish beside oak, painted joinery, linen, and patterned upholstery in cream, stone, or faded blue.

How to use it

It suits sitting rooms, bedrooms, and halls where you want a colour that feels restful rather than decorative. Pair it with pale timber, off-white trim, and upholstery in natural linens, muted checks, or deeper navy and moss tones.

A soft blue-green wall colour that stays calm and light rather than bright.

Whitstable 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.
