Warm + Cool + Most Popular Paint Colors
Here are some of our most popular shades of blue, including Breath of Fresh Air 806, the Color of the Year 2014.
Choosing Blue Paint Colors: Consider the Room
Navy, baby blue, turquoise–the color blue is varied and dynamic. Dark blues, like Hale Navy HC-154 and Gentleman’s Gray 2062-20, are often popular for offices and studies. Lighter, silvery blues are favorites for bathrooms and bedrooms thanks to the serenity and calm this favorite color evokes.By its very nature, blue is a cool color as seen in Yarmouth Blue HC-150 and Van Deusen Blue HC-156. Green undertones contribute to warmer blues, including the always-popular Palladian Blue HC-144 and Bird’s Egg 2051-60.
Go Bold with Blue
Consider going bolder with the blue family, as seen in this all-blue room. Deep Ocean 2058-30 on walls, ceiling and even trim creates a seamless, energetic design. Dimension and drama comes by way of sheen: lustrous semi-gloss on the ceiling scatters light through the room, and a more flat eggshell on walls creates a soft, calming envelope. Patterned pillows, curtains or other home accessories are perfect anchors for saturated blue.
Accent on Blue
Not ready to go all blue? Deep blue makes for a rich accent color for hallways, entryways, home entryways – anywhere that you are looking for a stroke of drama.
Consider charismatic cobalts like Big Country Blue 2066-30 and Patriot Blue 2064-20, or for a classic vibe, Old Navy 2063-10 is a favorite. In thoughtful amounts, these shades of blue bring a stylish spark of energy to any space.
The Allure of Blue-Gray Paint
Gray is commonly associated with sleek, modern design. Blue can create an inviting vibe in any contemporary or traditional room. So it comes as no surprise that those interested in both of these color families use blue-gray paint as their bridge. Mt. Rainier Gray 2129-60 and November Skies 2128-50 are among our favorite blue-gray paints.
