Dock Blue

Little Greene Dock Blue (252) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. Its cool classification gives it a crisper edge that may become clearer beside warm timber, cream or brass. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.

Manufacturer description

Little Greene Dock Blue 252 is a deep, muted blue with a charcoal cast that gives it a grounded, architectural look. Its cool blue-grey character is clear in daylight, while lower light brings out its near-slate depth. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, or interior doors where a dark color can add definition without reading as black. Pale stone, soft off-white, brushed nickel, and natural oak provide a clean contrast, while aged brass adds a warmer note. On larger walls, Dock Blue benefits from good natural light or layered lamps to keep its blue tone visible.
