Manufacturer description

Little Greene Smalt 255 is a deep, cool blue with a clear navy character and a gently muted finish. Its #29467B color value gives it enough richness for a dramatic wall, while retaining a discernible blue tone rather than reading as near-black. In bright daylight, Smalt appears cleaner and slightly more vivid; in lower light, it settles into a darker, ink-like blue. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, or a dining room for defined color without excessive brightness. Pair this shade with soft off-whites, pale grey-blue textiles, warm natural wood, or aged brass for contrast.
