Blue paint colors

Blue is the most popular color for accent walls, kitchen islands, and front doors — and also the family with the widest spread, from pale dove-blues that read almost grey, to inky near-black navies, to teals that sit between blue and green.

The picks below cover the practical extremes: Hale Navy as the most-spec'd dark blue in North America, SW Naval for an even deeper, blacker take, Hague Blue for the editorial-heavy moody-teal end, and Classic Blue if you want a true mid-tone confident blue. Match LRV to the room: under 10 reads near-black in low light, 10–30 reads as a clear deep blue, 30+ starts to read airy.
