What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Blue Shimmer Picket 6mm itself, not from its name.

Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #849CAB — mid-light and cool — which puts it nearest Dusty Blue in our pairing data. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

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
