Powdery grey-blue

A cool, gentle shade of blue that exudes quiet order and subtle, nuanced depth.

“Pigeon 42 exhibits medium brightness with controlled saturation and a cool temperature. The luminosity is reduced, giving the hue a calm, almost misty clarity. From a perceptual psychology perspective, it has a balancing, structured effect and is reminiscent of mineral shadows. Its effect remains restrained, precise, and atmospherically focused.”

“Culturally, Pigeon 42 references the traditional blue tones of finely glazed ceramics, whose elegance stems from subtlety. In historical interiors, the color was present in wood paneling and painted doors, where it unfolded a soft coolness in subdued light. In fashion, the nuance can be found in fine woolens, chambray, and technical materials that support a modern, almost graphic objectivity. On mineral surfaces such as lime plaster, concrete, or open-pored stone, this tone appears particularly authentic. In contemporary spaces, it blends harmoniously with misty white, pale sage green, ashy taupe, and silver metals. In combination with bold colors, it serves as a visual anchor, stabilizing compositions and smoothing transitions. The hue is suitable for surfaces that require a sense of depth while simultaneously emphasizing the contours of furniture and objects.”
