A colour that behaves like a neutral
Most people who ask for a blue floor do not want a blue floor. They want a floor that is not grey, that suits a modern exterior, and that does not look like a decision when the garage door is open. Slate Blue is built for exactly that: at six feet the eye reads a cool deep grey, and only at close range does the blue chip resolve. That is a deliberate blend design, and it is why this has become one of our most requested colours in the newer subdivisions in West Kelowna, Lake Country and the Kelowna hillside builds.
Lighting decides how much blue you get
Colour temperature changes this blend more than any other flake we install. Under daylight through an open door, or under 4000K to 5000K LED, the blue is unmistakable and the floor has real character. Under the 3000K warm bulbs common in older attached garages, the blue is largely cancelled and you get a competent cool grey. Neither is wrong, but it is worth knowing which one you are buying, and it is the single best argument for laying a physical sample on your own slab under your own lights.
Practical performance
Slate Blue hides dirt about as well as Granite: four out of five rather than five, because the tonal range inside the blend is slightly narrower. Road grit and dust disappear into it. Tire marking shows a little more than on Domino, because the base is not quite dark enough to swallow it. In a working garage that is a marginal difference; in a showpiece garage that gets photographed, it is worth a conversation.
