What Sets ktCOLOR's Blues Apart from All the Others

The ktCOLOR blue shades of color are made from natural and rare mineral pigments in our artisan paint workshop in Switzerland. They have a distinctive color depth, reminiscent of the beautiful blue hues found in the sky, in lakes and the ocean. Choose ktCOLOR blue paint colors for sustainability and for aesthetically pleasing surfaces in your projects. You will be delighted to see how they reflect the beauty of nature in your spaces.

A greenish blue, complement to burnt clay and red ochre.

Goethe wrote, “It is not at all unpleasant if blue has elements of plus in it. Sea green is rather a pleasing color.” The colors with elements of plus that he referred to are warm shades, or those with yellow and red components in them. These appear to advance in space, while colors with blue and gray in them appear to recede. Goethe would have called ultramarine blue a cold color, and this greenish blue a more pleasing one, since it partakes of a plus of yellow. Bright cerulean blue barely recedes in space; its effect is warm and sunny.
