Notes

Midnight is a blue so dark it reads black in the evening and navy in daylight. On a shaker profile the shadow line at the panel edge gives the door a depth a flat slab in the same colour does not have.

It suits built-ins, libraries and a kitchen island under a pale run. Shelf lighting matters more with a dark finish; without it the shelves swallow what sits on them.

Questions about midnight

Asked before the sample ships.

Will a dark finish make the room feel small?

A dark built-in wall reads as depth rather than a wall if it is lit and if the rest of the room stays light. Where the room is small and dim we show a mid-tone on the rendering beside it so you can compare.

Does dark paint fade?

Sprayed lacquer holds its colour indoors. Direct sun on one door over years can lighten it a shade; the touch-up paint comes from the same batch, so a door can be resprayed to match.

Hold midnight in your own light before you decide.
