colonial blue
Williamsburg paint shade
Colonial blue is a muted, grayish-blue color associated with early American decorative arts and architecture.
The shade evokes 18th-century New England interiors, where such blues appeared on shutters, furniture, and trim.
It remains popular in traditional and period-inspired design: The kitchen cabinets were painted colonial blue.
