Pairing Blues & Greys
Painting leaves to showcase our Artisan Range of Blues...yep that's us :-) but we're all visual here so we think it's a great way to show the differences. Here we've fanned out some leaves, and painted them all in different blues in our Artisan Velvet Luxe to show you the differences, if your using our Premium Chalk paints, this will be the depth of each colour after you give it a clear wax.
If you're looking to compare blues or pair a grey with a blue this might just help to guide you, of course this is only a guide, as colours are best viewed in person or through a sample pot in your lighting and environment.
We've added 2 Artisan greys in here, as we get a lot of questions like which greys works best with blues? So we've selected a dark and a light grey. One of our favs is Stormy Creek, a darker grey with blue undertones. Still Water Grey is a lovely pale grey with subtle blue undertones and Bach Blue is one thats on the cusp of being a pale "blue grey", it can appear more grey or more blue depending on the lighting and is one to consider on both fields of blue and grey.
