How to use Crystal Blue
Think of Crystal Blue as your ticket to a bright and friendly home exterior that will evoke a sense of tranquillity. Light blue masonry paint works best on coastal properties particularly, mirroring the hues of the sky and sea while also feeling completely at home on the coast like many pastels. The use of pastel colours like Crystal Blue in coastal areas dates back hundreds of years and is widely believed to be attributed to local fishermen painting their houses in different colours to make them recognisable from a distance as they returned to harbour.
EXPERT INSIGHTS
Colour Combinations
As with many pastel shades, light blue masonry paint colours can be slightly less versatile than other shades. For maximum effect, a crisp white is a perfect colour to provide visual contrast, while the lightness helps lift the Crystal Blue and enhance the beautiful friendly feel. In contrast, darker shades can deepen the hue of the blue, reducing this uplifting quality.
