Blue 04

The grey base really grounds the color, so the walls don’t feel flat even in afternoon light—the matt finish keeps it looking crisp rather than shiny. It took two coats to get the depth I wanted, but the extra pigment means it’s richer than most mid-blues I’ve tried.

I used Blue 04 in our living room and the matt finish keeps the walls looking crisp even in afternoon light. The grey base gives it a calm depth that photographs much darker than it feels in person.

Swatched this on a whim for our bedroom and the depth is unreal — that grey base keeps it from going too sweet, and the powdered hint softens it just enough. The matt finish dries really crisp, no sheen at all.
