The challenge with kitchen color is longevity: it needs to look right at 7am under bright task lights and at dinner with the pendants dimmed low. Traditional Blue manages to bridge all three lighting scenarios with ease, which is a rarer quality in a paint pigment than it sounds.

Lighting is key in a bedroom, and Traditional Blue reacts beautifully to dimmers. As you lower the lights for sleep, the color takes on a velvet-like quality, losing its daytime crispness in favor of a smoky, mysterious depth that is incredibly conducive to relaxation.
