Building a Palette With Finnish Blue

Planning colours across the home? Treat Finnish Blue as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.

A shared accent between two rooms is an easy way to make the whole home feel considered.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Finnish Blue keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Start

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
