Nella Milano Madame Pompadour

This beautiful blue is Nella Milano Madame Pompadour. It is a medium, slightly dusky blue. Some people see it leaning more purple or violet, but it doesn’t look like that on me; it’s just blue.

I had no idea after whom it was named, but having looked her up, I now know all about her. She was Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV’s official mistress. There were no clues on Wikipedia though about why this muted mid blue should be associated with her!

It was opaque in two coats, dried wonderfully quickly and was shiny and hard-wearing.
