Benjamin Moore November Skies
This beautiful blue is the color of chambray and has a blue gray undertone.
It’s not too light and not too dark.
Use it in a powder room, ensuite bathroom or bedroom.
Test November Skies with this peel & stick paint sample!
Sherwin Williams Inky Blue
This is the color of a clear fresh water lake and would be perfect for a lake house!
It’s a calm, serene color.
It has some depth to it and would look gorgeous in a laundry room, bedroom or bathroom.
This color looks beautiful with light woods, antiques, brass, black and nickel metallics.

Don’t forget that a paint color will look twice as intense on interior walls and 3-4 times brighter on exteriors than the paint chip sample! This is due to the bigger scale of the color on the walls versus the small paint chip and is also due to light reflection on painted walls. For exteriors, its due to the natural light that washes out the paint color.
Valspar Office Blue
A beautiful cool, mid-toned blue with a blue gray undertone.
A gorgeous color for a bedroom, dining room, laundry room or, like the name, home office!

Glidden Sterling Silver
This is an uplifting light blue paint color with a gray undertone that makes it classic and timeless.
It has a hint of purple in it giving it a periwinkle look.
I recommend using this color in a bedroom, powder room or ensuite bathroom.
Glidden Sterling Silver is available here.
Design Tip: Always test your paint colors in the room to make sure they work with the fixed elements of the room (flooring, tile, upholstery ect).
Portola Paints Cyclone
A gorgeous dark blue with a blue gray undertone. This grayed blue is calming and stylish. This color would look gorgeous in a bedroom or bathroom.
Coordinating colors
These blue colors will look gorgeous with neutral colors such as white, beige, brown and black .
Coordinating flooring colors with these blue paint colors
Pair these blues with white oak light wood floors which are on trend right now for flooring.
They also look beautiful with dark gray tile, marble tile floors such as marble hexagon tile and walnut flooring.
Coordinating countertop color
The countertop that would look the best with these blues is anything with a marble look – white background and blue gray veining.
Other coordinating finishes for these blue paint colors
Jute, sisal and seagrass all look stunning with these watery blue tones.
Linen is a perfect pairing.
Light wood tables coordinate beautifully as well.
The ‘it’ on trend travertine and alabaster stone looks stunning with these colors too.
