Petrol Blue

Petrol Blue Profile

Petrol Blue is a sophisticated, trend-led solid color within the PG Bison MelaWood range. It is a deep, desaturated teal that sits between navy blue and dark forest green, offering a moody and luxurious alternative to standard blues.

Aesthetic and Texture

Petrol Blue is designed to create a sense of depth and tranquility. Depending on the finish chosen, it can range from a velvet-like organic feel to a high-end, glass-like appearance.

• SupaMatt Finish: This is one of the most popular finishes for Petrol Blue. The ultra-matt surface absorbs light, which deepens the color and provides a silky, “anti-fingerprint” feel. It is ideal for modern, minimalist designs where a non-reflective surface is preferred.

• SupaGloss Finish: In this premium finish, Petrol Blue takes on a vibrant, liquid-like luster. The high-gloss surface reflects light, making it a “hero” feature in high-end kitchens or retail displays.

• Peen Finish: A more traditional stippled texture that is highly durable and cost-effective. It is typically used for the reverse side of premium boards or for internal cabinetry and carcasses.

• Linear Finish: Occasionally available with a structured, straight-grain texture that adds a tactile, architectural dimension to the solid color.

Design Applications

Because of its rich intensity, Petrol Blue is often used to create a “statement” in a room:

• Kitchen Islands: Using Petrol Blue on an island while keeping perimeter cabinets in a lighter neutral creates a striking focal point.

• Feature Cabinetry: Popular for home offices, libraries, or media units where a sense of calm and sophistication is required.

• Bathroom Vanities: The teal undertones pair naturally with water-centric environments, providing a spa-like yet bold aesthetic.

Recommended Pairings

Petrol Blue is highly versatile but works best when balanced correctly:

• With Light Neutrals: Pair with Iceberg White, Folkstone Grey, or Picco White to prevent the room from feeling too dark.

• With Woodgrains: It looks exceptional next to light-to-mid woodgrains like Aden, Natural Oak, or Coimbra. The blue tones highlight the warmth of the timber.

• With Metals: It is the perfect backdrop for brushed gold, champagne, or brass hardware, which “pops” against the deep blue. Matte black hardware can be used for a more subtle, tonal look.
