Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’ve been to Beige Town, and I think we can all agree. It’s a total snoozefest. So let’s explore another B. It’s Blue b!tch. Blue paint colors to be exact.
Blue paint is like the jeans of the paint color world—relaxing, timeless, pairs well with everything, is universally loved, and is versatile AF.
Painting a room blue is proven to literally chill you out-it’s science! It’s a color that always feels fresh. Blue plays nicely with pretty much any other color. And it works with any vibe. Think about it-navy cabinets would look just as good in a modern or contemporary kitchen as they would in a kitchen with a more traditional feel. So here are four blue paint colors that’ll cover up that beige real nice. (But be sure to test any paint color in your own space first, of course!!!)
Blue Paint Color No. 1: Benjamin Moore – Blue Lace
The living room of former J.Crew queen turned Real Housewife Jenna Lyons is ICONIC. The wall color is so good – a beautiful and subtle, cool blue-gray. It’s the perfect backdrop for her effortlessly chic style. The exact paint color remains a mystery, and believe me, I have scoured the internet far and wide. But Benjamin Moore’s Blue Lace is a close match, so you’re welcome?
Blue Paint Color No. 2: Farrow & Ball – Hague Blue
Hague Blue is dark, full of drama, and has the perfect touch of green. It’s fan club rivals Taylor Swift’s, because it’s just that good. The deep, saturated color gives the living room below the perfect moody vibe. It it grabs your attention and makes a strong impression, but still feels warm and inviting. And how yummy does it look against that salmon sofa?!
No 3: Benjamin Moore Gossamer Blue
This dreamy blue is like putting the sky right on your walls. It’s classic, fresh, and perfectly balanced–not too bold and not too muted. It’s kind of like a chameleon the way it shifts its personality depending on the light. Think more gentle and calming in the morning and more lively as the day goes on.
No. 4: Farrow & Ball Inchyra Blue
Farrow & Ball’s Inchyra Blue really doesn’t want to be put in a box. “What color is Inchyra Blue?” is actually a suggested Google search. Is it dark green? Navy? Super dark teal? Slate gray? Well, it can be all of them, depending on the light. Fun fact: this paint color was created specifically for the front door of a historic house in Scotland. I freaking love how the color was carried onto the ceiling in the dining room designed by Arlyn Hernandez below.
And there you have it—four shades of blue that prove this color is basically the superhero of the paint world. Whether you’re channeling your inner Jenna Lyons with a hint of cool sophistication, going full drama with Hague Blue, or keeping it more subtle with Gossamer, blue’s got your back. It’s like the friend who’s always available and doesn’t ask too many questions about your life choices. So. Which color is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!
