An inky navy
Pronounced 'stoo-key', this inky blue is named after the Norfolk beach where the mud, along with the cockles, share a particular deep navy hue. Although traditional in feel, Stiffkey Blue is often used as an alternative to Down Pipe to create a richly dramatic space with a more contemporary finish. When used in well lit areas of the home it will appear much bluer, working wonderfully when contrasted with Ammonite.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Dark Tones

In a low light room, very navy!
We bought samples of De Nimes and Stiffkey blue for our nursery. In our room, which is low on natural night, Stiffkey reads as a true navy with hints of matte grey/black. It’s very beautiful and classic looking. (For more details, De Nimes in that room was quite grey with a blue/green hint).

I’ve turned our hallway from bright red throughout to Dimpse downstairs and used Stiffkey Blue for the feature wall. Decided to paint the cloakroom in the same colour. Very happy with the result, used modern emulsion as a high traffic area.
