Painterly Palettes: Blēo Collective, a Newly Launched Paint Brand in Copenhagen

Just launched: Blēo in Copenhagen, a color house “operating at the intersection of surfaces, spaces, and objects,” according to founder Anne Grønskov. “We collaborate with visionaries in the overlapping fields of art, architecture, and design on developing essential colors and textures.” Among the 15 architects, designers, and artists Grønskov has tapped to create palettes are Remodelista favorites such as John Pawson, Yvonne Koné, Studio Andrew Trotter, Cecilie Manz, and more.

Blēo, which means “a color, hue, or complexion” in Old English, offers six types of paint finishes; all are 100 percent water-based, eco-friendly, non-toxic, low-VOC, and EU Ecolabel certified. “Our colors are highly pigmented, and some palettes include colors with specially developed pigments,” says Grønskov.”We also offer five metallic hues that create a unique atmosphere—colors in constant interaction with light.”

Here’s a look at some favorites from the collection:
