Manufacturer description

Little Greene Thai Sapphire 116 is an exceptionally deep blue-violet, reading almost black at first glance but with a distinct inky purple cast. Its cool, concentrated color makes it particularly effective in rooms with good natural light, where the violet-blue character becomes easier to see. In lower light, Thai Sapphire settles into a dramatic near-black that can add depth to a dining room, study, or hallway. Use it on cabinetry, bookcases, or a single wall with warm white paint, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen to keep the scheme from feeling too dark. It also has enough intensity for exterior details such as a front door or window trim.
