Navy is the boardroom of cabinet colours — authoritative, tailored, impossible to embarrass. It grounds two-tone schemes and flatters every metal made.
The exact RAL codes to spec
Colour names drift between suppliers; RAL codes do not. These are the three we mix most for navy blue cabinet projects:
| RAL 5011 | Steel Blue |
| RAL 5004 | Black Blue |
| RAL 5008 | Grey 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
Navy Blue performs best beside brass or bronze, white oak, arabescato marble, off-white uppers. Keep undertone temperature consistent across counters, metals and floors and the scheme locks together on its own.
Where it works best
Specify navy blue for islands, base runs, home offices, bars. 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 Bella, Nightingale, Nora 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
All-navy kitchens in dim rooms turn flat — reserve full navy for daylight, use it low in dark rooms.
