Ink Stone N19
Reads as black from a distance and shows its true colour up close. We see Ink Stone N19 specified most often for alcove and chimney-breast features and restaurant and bar interiors. Pairs with marble, antique brass and richly grained timbers. In the Microcement range, Ink Stone N19 reads as ink-deep with a cool edge, built on a quiet, even-handed undertone and blue-black pigment. Owes a small debt to minimalist gallery, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Won't Ink Stone N19 make the room feel smaller?+
Deep shades like Ink Stone N19 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.
Is Ink Stone N19 suitable for a shower or wet-room?+
Ink Stone N19 can be specified for wet-rooms with our standard microcement wet-zone build: primer, two base coats with reinforcing mesh, two finishing coats, then a tanking membrane and two coats of polyurethane sealer. The colour itself doesn't change suitability — finish and sealer do.
