   Russian Blue Color

   Russian Blue cats have a silver-tipped blue-grey coat and green eyes, and British print first mentions an “Archangel Cat,” after the port of Arkhangelsk, in 1862. Russian Blue color (#9aaebb) matches the coat well, minus the shimmer.

2. #f0e0dc

   

   White Russian Color

   Jeff Bridges made the White Russian famous in the 1998 Coen brothers film The Big Lebowski, sipping Kahlua, vodka, and cream throughout. White Russian color (#f0e0dc) catches that milky coffee-cream blush. A bar corner or lounge warms up here.

3. #679267

   

   Russian Green Color

   Russian green was used across 18th and 19th century Russia, turning up on palace roofs and military dress alike. The color is a muted mid-green with a grey base. It grounds a period interior beside cream and gold.

4. #24252b

   

   Black Russian Color

   Black Russian is a near-black with a cool charcoal depth, named for the vodka-and-Kahlúa cocktail served in a dark tumbler. At #24252b it reads sleek and moody. It suits a dramatic, low-lit bar or dining corner.

5. #4d4244

   

   Russian Red Color

   Here’s a name that sets you up for the wrong paint. Russian Red color (#4d4244) is a dark charcoal with a faint plum-brown cast, about as red as a wet slate roof. If you came looking for the famous lipstick, this isn’t it, so treat it as a warm near-black.

6. #8e9598

   

   Grey Russian Color

   Grey Russian is a cool, smoky grey with the faintest blue-green wash, like fog rolling over the Neva River. It stays neutral enough for a whole room yet never feels flat. The Grey Russian color pairs handsomely with charcoal and polished nickel.
