Blēo
Blēo, meaning “a colour, hue, or complexion” in Old English, is a colour and surface house founded in Copenhagen in 2024. Our mission is simple: to make colour easier to live with — and richer to experience.

Our colours and signature palettes
The hardest part about colour is choice. Thousands of standardised shades only make the decision harder. Blēo offers a different approach: curated palettes developed with visionary architects, designers, and artists. Each palette tells a story — of a person, a practice, or a place — and offers colours that are complex, intuitive, and tested to work seamlessly together.

Every Blēo colour is made with multiple pigments, giving it depth and movement. Colours shift with the light, the time of day, and the space itself — alive, never static. A palette holds 8–29 shades, each designed to stand alone or combine effortlessly in endless ways.

How we work
Our paints are produced locally in Copenhagen, and for North America in the US. Each colour is developed in our Colour Lab in Denmark, tested and refined to ensure precision, richness, and durability.

More than paint
Blēo is not about exhaustive ranges. It is about thoughtful curation, collaboration, and expression. We work with world-leading talents to create colours — then extend those colours across multiple surfaces: paint, tiles, and more to come.

Rooted in the Scandinavian design ethos of simplicity and quality, Blēo redefines how colour lives in our surroundings: as a medium for clarity, atmosphere, and everyday beauty.
