Indigo
A weighty, slow-burn dark that rewards low light. On site, Indigo ends up most often in fireplace walls and bed-headboard recesses, with principal bedrooms a close second. It anchors well against pale plaster, white-oak floors and antique brass detailing. Within the High-end Paint range, Indigo carries with a measured cool cast and violet-blue undertones — saturated and quiet in overall character. Owes a small debt to modern moody, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Won't Indigo make the room feel smaller?+
Deep shades like Indigo actually blur a room's edges, making walls feel further away rather than closer. The trick is to wrap the colour onto skirting and trim so there are no high-contrast lines to remind the eye where the room ends.
What sheen options come in Indigo?+
Indigo is tinted into your choice of dead-matt, soft eggshell or low-sheen satin. For rooms with high handling — hallways, kitchens — we'd usually recommend eggshell.
What does Indigo pair with from your range?+
We most often pair Indigo with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, pairs with pale oak, indigo textiles and matt-black ironmongery.
