6 St. Pauls Blue 5030
Although grey or soft pastels are great choices for a bedroom, a darker colour can also help set a Nordic mood. As one of Jotun’s best-selling blue tones; St Pauls Blue is a perfect combination of blue with an undertone of grey. You will also find a small hint of green in it, – which is precisely what makes it complement mint tones or greenish-blue tones perfectly.
7 Minty Breeze 7163
