Understanding Serge
Serge is a chic dark blue. It sits comfortably alongside Ultra Marine Blue or Wine Dark, so your palette stays cohesive even when you change sheens or substrates.
Pair it with whitewashed boards, pewter hardware, and nautical stripes so Serge flatters entryways and mudroom lockers. Link it to Ultra Marine Blue or Wine Dark next door for a polished palette.
How to test Serge dupes
Move sample boards between daylight and lamplight so Serge keeps its balance beside Ultra Marine Blue and Wine Dark.
For built-ins or doors, test a satin enamel to confirm it levels smoothly before committing an entire entryways.
Where Serge excels
The colour shines in entryways and mudroom lockers, 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 Ultra Marine Blue or Wine Dark; the subtle repetition keeps the whole home feeling intentional.
