Borrowed Light No.235
$126
A pale and illuminating blue
Evoking the colour of summer skies, Borrowed Light is a wonderfully pale blue named after the delicate light that cascades through small windows and fanlights. It works as well in a room deprived of light as it does in an airy sunroom. This soft and classic tone is perfectly suited to children’s bedrooms, especially when contrasted with Stiffkey Blue on furniture or woodwork.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White & Light Tones
Complementary white: All White
