High-end Paint · HE-20

Sky

Sky sits in our High-end Paint range with a cool undertone that keeps the air feeling open, undertones of soft cornflower, and a character that's open and breathable. A working pale — the colour a room defaults to when you leave it alone. The natural home for Sky is family bathrooms — and increasingly principal bedrooms. The lineage is coastal classic, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current. It anchors well against pale plaster, white-oak floors and antique brass detailing.

FAQs about Sky

Questions clients ask about this shade

Does Sky hold up in north-facing rooms?+

Yes — Sky carries enough tonal weight that it doesn't go flat or grey in cool daylight. The soft cornflower undertone is what stops it bleaching out.

What sheen options come in Sky?+

Sky 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 Sky pair with from your range?+

We most often pair Sky with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, works alongside pale limestone, unlacquered brass and white-painted joinery.
