What color blue paint?

Question

I am going with the brown and blue theme for my living room. I already have the color brown picked out, but am having trouble finding the right shade of blue that I want. I will be purchasing from Lowe's, Home Depot, or Wal-mart. Has anyone used these colors and remember the name of the paint you used. Pictures would also be helpful.

Answer 1

My suggestion is to pick your paint shades last.  If you were thinking of using cushions, art, furniture etc. in the blue you should always get those items first then colour match for paint.  Have fun!

Answer 2

The shade of blue that people are using now with brown in either a light baby blue or light turquoise blue. Remember when selecting from paint chips they will always come out a little darker on  your walls. So, go with the lighter shade. Also, I recommend using Ralph Lauren paint from Home Depot. One coat covers and it's the best.

Answer 3

Light Turquoise , like the color of the Ocean

Answer 4

I think "blueberry buckle" (# 600F-5), "bon voyage" (# 510F-4) or "hallowed hush" (# 500F-6) by Behr paint would look terrific.

Answer 5

Wedgewood blue or Restoration Hardware blue

Restoration has great colors, you can always get a sample and Home Depot will color match it.
