The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family.

How they read

In their own words

Despite the name, Catalina Blue lives in the soft territory where blue meets green. It is a muted, sea-glass color — grey enough to stay calm, green enough to feel coastal — that shifts between blue and sage depending on the light it's given.

Kittiwake is a clean, cool mid blue from Farrow & Ball, named for the seabird and, in the brand's words, inspired by the wings of seabirds when seen in bright sunlight. On the colour card it sits between Parma Gray and Lulworth Blue.
