Denim is the workwear of blues — relaxed, faded, endlessly livable. It carries farmhouse and coastal schemes without the saturation of navy.
The exact RAL codes to spec
Colour names drift between suppliers; RAL codes do not. These are the three we mix most for denim blue cabinet projects:
| RAL 5014 | Pigeon Blue |
| RAL 5007 | Brilliant Blue |
| RAL 5023 | Distant Blue |
Every code sprays in super-matte through high gloss; approve the sprayed sample in your room's light before production — sheen shifts colour a half-step.
What to pair it with
Denim Blue performs best beside aged brass, butcher block, white ceramic, linen tones. Keep undertone temperature consistent across counters, metals and floors and the scheme locks together on its own.
Where it works best
Specify denim blue for family kitchens, mudrooms, cottage baths, laundries. For dosing strategies — island-only colour, two-tone splits — see the two-tone formulas guide.
Door designs to carry it
The colour reads differently by profile: on our Nora, Windsor, Carnation designs it shows its full range from calm to characterful. All are lacquered to order in any code above — browse the gallery for the complete set.
The mistake to avoid
Denim beside strong grey goes murky — its partners are warm whites and wood, not concrete.
