Try It Now — $3.99Blues range from green-leaning teals to purple-leaning periwinkles. Navy blues can appear black in low light.
Blue walls absorb light, so rooms need adequate lighting. South-facing rooms with warm natural light balance blue beautifully.
In small bathrooms, paint all walls the same color including the ceiling for a spa-like effect. In larger bathrooms, an accent wall behind the vanity or tub works well.
Paint the vanity a bold color against neutral walls. Or do a half-wall of color with white above for a clean, classic look.
Eggshell for bedrooms. Satin for living rooms. Semi-gloss for bathrooms and kitchens.
Dark blues like Naval may require 2-3 coats. Primer is recommended when going from light to dark blue.
Always use semi-gloss or satin finish in bathrooms. Moisture-resistant paint is non-negotiable — flat paint will grow mildew in humid environments.
