Powder Blue
Almost white, but not white. The natural home for Powder Blue is principal bedrooms — and increasingly family bathrooms. It anchors well against pale plaster, white-oak floors and antique brass detailing. Within the High-end Paint range, Powder Blue carries with a measured cool cast and sky-grey undertones — airy and pale in overall character. Owes a small debt to Gustavian, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.

We most often pair Powder Blue 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.
