Deep Indigo

At first glance, Deep Indigo belongs to the black family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. A purple undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
