750ml Exterior Eggshell Pitch Blue No.220

Pitch Blue is a rich cobalt shade with a hefty dose of black pigment – hence the name. This gives it an indigo appearance that can seem almost purple in certain lights, and it really comes to life in south-facing rooms when teamed with the bright All White. For an altogether different, more restrained feel, try it in a darker room, or one mostly used in the evening.
