Blēo, meaning “colour, hue, or complexion” in Old English, is a Copenhagen-founded colour and surface house dedicated to making colour easier to live with and richer to experience. We explore how tone and texture meet: how colour behaves across surfaces, and how light interacts with glaze, pigment, and form.

Instead of thousands of standardised shades, we offer a curated alternative: palettes created with world-leading architects, designers, and artists. Each palette tells a story and brings together 8–29 complex, intuitive colours that work effortlessly alone or in combination. Every Blēo shade is built from multiple pigments, giving it depth, nuance, and movement. Colours shift with light, time, and context, alive, never static. Our handmade tiles carry the same philosophy, with natural variation and tactility that give each surface its own life. All colours are developed in our Colour Lab in Denmark and produced locally in Copenhagen and in the US for North America, ensuring precision, richness, durability, and a more mindful footprint.

Blēo is not about exhaustive ranges. It is about curation, collaboration, and expression. By extending signature colours across paint, tiles, and more to come, we aim to redefine how colour lives in our surroundings: as clarity, atmosphere, and everyday beauty.
