To celebrate the launch of our new colour swatches, we’re taking a look at some of our favourite colours to help you switch up your home with the help of a swatch!

 

Our darkest midnight blue

 

Toy Soldier is a highly pigmented, opulent paint colour. It’s our deepest blue, made up from blue and black undertones to create a rich, dramatic shade.

Using Toy Soldier in your home

 

Dark paint colours, especially those with a warm blue, green or black undertone like Toy Soldier, are surprisingly easy to live with. Because it’s a highly adaptable shade, it can be used to create a dramatic, fun or intimate atmosphere in almost any room, depending on how you decide to use it.

If you don’t want to go dark in your whole room, why not use Toy Soldier as a feature wall in living or dining rooms? Adding interest and sophistication to a space, it’s perfect on a chimney breast.

Due to its depth of colour, Toy Soldier is a fantastic backdrop to art or photography – the dark blue background helps to make the most of your artwork and allows it to really sing! Just look at interior stylist and lecturer Katie Seller’s bedroom to see how Toy Soldier added a dramatic yet easy going touch.

Alternatively, Toy Soldier is one of our absolute favourite Earthborn shades for painting furniture. In neutral or light grey rooms, a piece of furniture painted with a pop of Toy Soldier will add fun and personality to your room! Click here to buy Eco Chic furniture paint in Toy Soldier.

Pairing colours with Toy Soldier

 

Toy Soldier is surprisingly versatile and can be used as part of a variety of colour schemes. It acts as an alternative to dark grey in a monochrome colour palette, and adds a bold touch to white and off white walls, as above.

However we think this deep midnight blue comes into its own when paired with other blues, jewel greens and rich earthy reds for a truly dramatic look! Try it with Delilah, Cricket or The Lido for a true ‘pop’!
