Nostalgic Blue paint sample (matt, 60ml)

Our Nostalgic Blue paint colour is a soft powder blue with yellow undertones for that extra comforting warmth both ourselves and our rooms need sometimes.

Soft, gentle and serene, this muted blue hue reminds us of the tranquillity of a clear sky on a sunny day — the perfect soothing backdrop for relaxation and contemplation. It’s a colour that brings memories of seaside cafés on the Sussex coast, where delicate blue crockery sits against the whitewashed walls. It’s also part of Steve McQueen’s iconic look in The Thomas Crown Affair film where he wears a pale blue shirt paired with a blue silk tie, perfectly complementing his famous blue eyes. In nature, this muted blue hue matches the Franz Josef Glaciers in New Zealand — you’ll spot it when the light hits the dense ice, which absorbs its long wavelengths, scattering short-waved blue light that makes the ice appear blue.

Use the Nostalgic Blue paint colour in nurseries, children’s bedrooms, or why not add it to your own bedroom too? It pairs beautifully with warm neutrals, soft peaches and powdery pinks, which also makes it the perfect addition to murals, feature walls and multi-coloured DIY projects.
