208. HICK’S BLUE

Hicks’ Blue is a deep inky blue paint by prominent 60s and 70s designer, David Hicks. Hicks was known for using powerful colours in combination to dramatic effect. Hicks also worked on many commercial projects and used this blue in the restaurant at the top of the London Telecom Tower in 1962. Pair this shade with a related white such as Slaked Lime for a soft and gentle scheme.
