We love versatility and blue is the shade that can do it all: light and fresh, rich and classical, deep and moody... the list goes on. Whatever your favorite blue is, we have a paint color for that! Today on the blog we are rounding up our favorite blue hues for walls, cabinets, accents, and more! Discover the gorgeous color families below!

Light Blue | Soft & Tranquil

If your room goals are soft, tranquil, and refreshing, light blue might be the hue for you. This gentle collection of pretty blues, all from Benjamin Moore, are perfect for a child’s bedroom, mudroom, or as a splash of color on board and batten or other intricately styled walls. 

For a room refresh, consider replacing white walls with a pretty, dusty light blue. It’s low commitment and a style no-brainer. Not ready to mix up your walls? That’s ok! Robin’s egg blue will make your custom cabinetry stand out beautifully! Could light blue be the new white? We think it might be. 

True Blue | An Unbeatable Classic

Ready to commit to the beauty of blue? It doesn’t get any better than a true blue paint color. In late 2019, Pantone announced that Classic Blue would be the Color of 2020 and we have been obsessed ever since! After a few years of bright, unexpected tones from Pantone, Classic Blue felt like a return to more relaxed, structured color themes. 

Nervous about how blue might look all over? Try adding a pop of true blue paint to a closet or cabinet. We love how Sims Hilditch Interiors made the white serveware in their builtin cabinets pop with De Nimes by Farrow & Ball. It brings a fresh flair to a more classically style space and we are obsessed.

Dark Blue | Timeless & Moody

If you love rich, moody tones and you want to add weight and depth to your space, darker blues might just be what you’re looking for. A highly-saturated navy tone has a special way of creating a coastal, historical vibe. For a true tone, you can’t do any better than Naval by Sherwin-Williams. It’s as beautiful as the deep blue sea and we love seeing it on cabinets, walls, repurposed furniture, the list goes on.

When it comes to moody blues, we might be partial to Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball. While it can look navy in some light, in others, it’s a gorgeous blue-green that creates and eclectic setting for other funky colors. If you’re loving on Hague Blue like we are, be sure to swatch it and watch it. This beautiful color, like all paint colors, will change depending on lighting and setting.

Green Blue | The Best of Both Worlds

Do you love the blue-green tones of Hague Blue? Take it to the next level with more mixed hues like Oval Room Blue, Inchyra Blue, or Yorktown Green. These bold colors are the perfect in-between for anyone who just can’t decide between blue or green.

Oh, and if you think green might be the way to go, we have a blog for that ;) Check out our green paint round-up here.
