Laminate - Color - Blue

1,200+ designs, and like most bright colours, blue is mainly plain: 73% are solid blues. The names in the titles show the spread: sky (50+), teal (20+), royal (20+), navy (20+), aqua and petrol. Fluted designs (90+), blue marbles (70+) and patterns make up the rest.

High gloss is the most common finish (330), then texture (300) and suede (200+); with plain gloss added, 400+ blue designs are glossy. 1 mm is standard (850+), 0.8 mm is available (150+), and there are thicker 3 mm sheets for special work. Virgo (95+), AmulyaMica (65+) and Stylam (55+) are the brands with the most, and Pentone (35+) adds solid and fluted blues.

Light blues or deep blues

Pale sky and powder blues keep a room light and suit kids' rooms and small study units. Deep navy and petrol blues look rich on lower kitchen cabinets and wardrobe fronts, especially next to wood and brass.

Watch the room's light

A room that gets little direct sun makes blues look colder and greyer. There, choose a blue with a hint of green, like teal or petrol, rather than an icy blue.

Gloss or not

Blue gloss is bright and cheerful but shows fingerprints, which matters in a kids' room. Suede and texture blues are easier to live with on shutters that small hands open every day.

Kitchens (1,000+), wardrobes (550+) and TV units (350+) lead the furniture tags; designs carry several tags, so these overlap. Light blues suit children's wardrobes and study tables, navy suits modern kitchens and bar units, and teal works for cafes and offices that want a brand colour on the counter.

Navy has more character and pairs well with wood. Dark grey is the safer bet if you might change the wall colour later.

White, off-white and warm beige. Avoid a second strong colour on the walls.

Yes; 150+ blue designs carry a bathroom tag. Use it on the vanity shutters with every edge sealed, over a BWP plywood carcass.

Every colour sits in our full laminate sheets range. Compare with green laminates, or balance blue with white and wood laminates. Every solid colour is in plain colour laminates, and the shiniest blues in high gloss laminates.

Blues shift a lot between screen and room. See them at our Choolai or OMR store in Chennai; ask to see samples, and call ahead for a specific design.
