Petrol Blue

Petrol blue is a deep, mysterious blue-green. Darker than duck egg blue, it creates intimate and sophisticated atmospheres.

Petrol blue as an accent wall behind a headboard or a light-colored sofa. Pair it with copper, warm wood, and off-white.

Pitfall: petrol blue in a windowless room. It absorbs a lot of light, so compensate with abundant warm lighting.

Petrol blue pairs perfectly with shades of gray, white, or beige for a clean and refined look. You can also combine it with touches of green for a natural effect, or with touches of gold for a more sophisticated ambiance.

Petrol blue creates warm and soothing atmospheres, ideal for relaxation areas such as the living room, bedroom, or bathroom. It can also be elegantly used in reception rooms like the dining room.

Petrol blue blends beautifully with natural materials like wood, linen, or velvet. It also pairs very well with metallic elements like brass or steel to add a contemporary touch.

Cushions, throws, or curtains in shades of petrol blue will bring depth and richness to your decor. You can also use decorative objects in ceramic, glass, or metal to highlight this sophisticated shade.

To highlight petrol blue, opt for soft, subdued lighting, such as wall sconces or reading lamps. Avoid overly powerful luminaires that might make the color too dark and oppressive.
