Mazarine

At first glance, Mazarine belongs to the blue family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. A blue undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile.

Manufacturer description

Little Greene Mazarine 256 is a deep, clear blue with a noticeable teal cast, drawn from its blue-green base rather than violet undertones. Its medium-dark value gives it presence on walls, where daylight brings out the cooler blue notes and evening light lets it appear denser and more inky. Use it in a study, dining room, or hallway for a defined wash of color, or reserve it for cabinetry and a painted front door. Mazarine pairs well with crisp white trim, pale grey-blue textiles, warm oak, aged brass, and natural linen. For contrast, combine this shade with soft clay, muted blush, or warm off-white rather than icy neutrals.
