Mist Blue

Overview

Mist Blue, with its light cool blue hue and gloss finish, is marked by HEX #C6E2E9. This colour excels in spaces like bathrooms, laundries, bedrooms, and relaxed living areas, where a serene and clear environment is desired. Due to its lightness, Mist Blue can appear differently under daylight, warm lamps, and when surrounded by various materials. It's crucial to sample it next to trims, flooring, cabinetry, and fabrics before deciding on a full room application. Start with a restrained palette and consider adding a stronger accent if needed.

Where Mist Blue works best

Mist Blue is most effective in bathrooms, laundries, bedrooms, and relaxed living areas. On larger surfaces, it benefits from contrast provided by trims, hardware, and furniture. If uncertain, start with a single wall, joinery face, robe interior, or vanity, and observe it under different lighting conditions throughout the day before expanding its use.

Pairing and contrast advice

Dark detailing like black or charcoal offers clear contrast against Mist Blue, with a contrast ratio of 15.46:1 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, allowing materials to enhance the visual impact.

Finish notes

The gloss finish of Mist Blue enhances its vividness, as reflected light accentuates edges and surface variations. This can be effective on trims, doors, and feature joinery. However, it requires high-quality preparation, as large wall areas may appear busy unless the surrounding palette is kept simple.
