Haze Blue

Overview

Haze Blue, a light cool blue with a gloss finish (HEX #D1E2EC), is ideal for creating a serene environment in bathrooms, laundries, bedrooms, and relaxed living areas. Its appearance can shift with daylight, warm lamps, and surrounding materials, so it's important to test it in the actual space. Place samples next to trims, flooring, cabinetry, and fabrics to see how it interacts with these elements. Begin with a restrained palette and consider adding a stronger accent if the initial look feels too subdued.

Where Haze Blue works best

Haze Blue is most effective in bathrooms, laundries, bedrooms, and relaxed living spaces. On larger walls, it benefits from contrasting elements like trims, hardware, and furniture. If uncertain, start with a smaller area such as a wall plane, joinery face, robe interior, or vanity. Observe it under different lighting conditions throughout the day before expanding its use.

Pairing and contrast advice

Dark detailing like black or charcoal provides clear contrast against Haze Blue, with a contrast ratio of 15.80:1 against black. It pairs well with crisp whites, pale timbers, limestone, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. Without linked style profiles, keep the initial palette simple and let materials contribute to the visual interest.

Finish notes

The gloss finish of Haze Blue enhances its vividness, as reflected light highlights edges and surface variations. This makes it suitable for trims, doors, and feature joinery, but requires careful preparation to avoid a busy look on large walls. A restrained palette helps maintain balance.
