Color Codes
Manufacturer description
Little Greene Basalt 221 is an exceptionally deep blue-black with a cool, slate-like cast. Its low-light value gives walls a near-black appearance, while daylight reveals the restrained blue tone beneath. Use it in a study, dining room, or hallway where a dark envelope can make pale wood, plaster, and warm brass stand out clearly. Basalt also has enough depth for cabinetry or interior doors, especially alongside soft off-whites and muted grey-beiges. In brighter spaces, keep surrounding finishes light to preserve contrast and prevent this shade from reading too heavy.
