British Paints Costa Rica Blue

Costa Rica is an inky blue with a hint of charcoal. If you’re considering being unfaithful in your long-standing relationship with grey, this muted navy blue is sure to catch your eye.  If you’re worried that a dark wall will make your space seem smaller, this isn’t necessarily the case. Dark colours can actually make a space seem larger, by defining boundaries and highlighting the height of walls. Costa Rica is particularly effective in cosy spaces such as a bedroom, dining room or study where it will foster a sense of calm and serenity. Its blue/grey/petrol hues create a striking and sophisticated look for feature walls in living spaces, and work particularly well with high, white ceilings and crisp white architraves. And it sets off natural greenery to perfection.
