Harlequin Blue

Harlequin Blue begins as a purple color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its cool classification gives it a crisper edge that may become clearer beside warm timber, cream or brass. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
