I love the sense of calm Benjamin Moore's Polo Blue creates in the designer's bedroom. Perfect for a sanctuary! And the stencil over it brings an unexpected lighter element keeping it from feeling too cave-like.
When I painted our navy blue dining room in this house, I wanted a rich deep true navy. We grabbed paint samples and tried several hues, and Sherwin-Williams' Gale Force was the winner!
Looking for a moody dark blue with just a touch of gray to soften it (I mean, who doesn't love blue gray paint colors)? Behr's Ink Black is the perfect choice (and it really is dark blue, not black as the name suggests).
I chose Behr's Midnight in the Tropics for the walls. It was the perfect dark blue for us–lots of depth and a tiny hint of green, and it was beautiful in the natural light from our windows. Not to mention it looked amazing against all the white trim.
