Midnight Navy
In the High-end Paint range, Midnight Navy reads as deep, formal, built on a quiet blue-grey undercurrent and ink-blue pigment. Works alongside pale limestone, unlacquered brass and white-painted joinery. Most Midnight Navy installs end up on fireplace walls and bed-headboard recesses or home offices and studies. A weighty, slow-burn dark that rewards low light. Owes a small debt to Georgian library, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.
