Best Dupes for Selvedge
Selvedge is a laid-back blue. People look for alternates because layered blues can demand multiple coats on walls and cabinetry, and they want washable finishes. Good dupes hold the colour saturated, hide brush marks, and stand up to moisture in kitchens or baths.

Understanding Selvedge
Selvedge is a laid-back blue. It sits comfortably alongside Sugar Bag Light or Sloe Blue, so your palette stays cohesive even when you change sheens or substrates.
Pair it with whitewashed boards, pewter hardware, and nautical stripes so Selvedge flatters laundry cabinetry and built-in bunks. Link it to Sugar Bag Light or Sloe Blue next door for a polished palette.
How to test Selvedge dupes
Move sample boards between daylight and lamplight so Selvedge keeps its balance beside Sugar Bag Light and Sloe Blue.
For built-ins or doors, test a satin enamel to confirm it levels smoothly before committing an entire laundry cabinetry.
Where Selvedge excels
The colour shines in laundry cabinetry and built-in bunks, providing personality without overpowering neighbouring rooms. Layer it with tactile fabrics and thoughtful lighting to underline its nuance.
Carry the story further by echoing it with trims or accents in Sugar Bag Light or Sloe Blue; the subtle repetition keeps the whole home feeling intentional.
