Damson Blue

Damson Blue is the deep blue-purple finish, closer to the skin of a damson than to a bright kitchen blue.

In a room with warm lights it can read as purple. In daylight it reads as blue. If you are matching it to tiles or to a painted cabinet, look at the machine in that room. A product photo shifts the colour.

The paint scuffs at the corners if the kettle is dragged. A chip shows the metal under the colour. It does not affect the boil. It does show, because the metal is silver and the panel is dark.

A blue kettle still scales up in hard water. Descale it on the same schedule you would use for a steel one. The kettle page covers temperature steps, and the toaster page covers slots if you are pairing them. The other four finishes are listed on the luxe collection page.
