What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Blue Shimmer 2x6x6mm Subway itself, not from its name.
Measured, not guessed: #8F9FA8, mid-light and cool. The nearest color we hold pairings for is Dusty Blue. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.
Cabinets
- Pure White — coastal calm without committing colored cabinets. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid
Hardware
- Brushed Nickel — Brushed nickel disappears into dusty blue like fog on water, and it shrugs off water spots that would make chrome look neglected by Tuesday.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast solid
Countertop
- Warm Speckled Stone (Granite) — Warm stone keeps dusty-blue cabinets from tipping nursery — the sandy flecks pull the blue toward coastal-grownup, and the busy surface hides crumbs between wipe-downs.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
