Manufacturer description
Little Greene Hicks' Blue 208 is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable grey cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its low-key, slightly cool character can read bluer in clear daylight, while evening or warm artificial light brings out its softened charcoal quality. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, or a dining room to give architectural details more definition without the visual weight of near-black. Pale stone, soft off-white, weathered oak, brushed nickel, and aged brass all sit comfortably beside Hicks' Blue. For a more enveloping scheme, carry this shade across walls and woodwork, then add texture through linen, wool, or natural timber.
