Description
Ocean blue is a strong, sea-deep colour, and on a blank plate it does something quietly useful: it fills a gap in a wall of switches and sockets without pretending to be one. The face is square, 88mm across, flat and slim, with the screwless front giving a clean expanse of colour and no screw heads on show. Single gang, so it matches the footprint of a standard switch or socket position, which keeps a run of plates reading as one line along the wall.
We reach for these after a rewire or a kitchen refit, when a position has been taken out of service and the wall needs finishing off properly. They also earn their place in colour schemes: media walls, home offices, boot rooms and hallways where the blue is picked up by the switches nearby. Anyone building a run of coloured plates will need the odd blank along the way, and it is worth having them in the same style and colour as the rest. Dry indoor rooms only.
The plate is moulded in polycarbonate, light in the hand and hard-wearing, which suits a fitting that will be dusted far more often than it is touched. Keep it looking new with a wipe from a barely damp cloth and a dry one behind it; skip solvents, kitchen sprays and anything gritty, as they will dull the colour. It carries a ten year warranty. Against off-white walls or pale timber the blue reads deep and almost inky, while on a darker wall it turns brighter, so it pays to hold one up before committing to a full run.
