Blue-gray can appear differently in various lights, creating a magical effect. Here are some intriguing blue-gray paint colors to consider for the home.

Blue-gray has become a trendy paint color in recent years. This isn’t surprising because the muted shade can work with most interior design styles. Moreover, its versatility makes it a go-to color for designers looking to add style and sophistication to a space.

Blue-gray can appear differently in various lights, creating a magical effect. The hue also has hints of purple and green, broadening its appeal. Here are some intriguing blue-gray paint colors to consider for the home:

Benjamin Moore Gibraltar Cliffs 1587

This is a gorgeous blend of gray with a green undertone. It’s also open to interpretation as some people see it as more gray than blue while others mostly see it as a shade of blue. The pigment has some depth without necessarily being a rich color.

Portola Paints Sharkskin

Sharkskin is a must-have for anyone looking for a fun and simple way to introduce gray to a room. The vibrant Portola shade provides a playful backdrop for art and other objects hanging on the wall.

Benjamin Moore Hale Navy

Kitchen cabinets are usually the center of attention in the kitchen, so they must look their best. A deep blue-gray shade like the Hale Navy is the perfect way to add drama to this space. It blends well with surfaces like the floor and countertop while standing out and making a statement.

Farrow and Ball Down Pipe

One of our favorite trends this season is the grid wall treatment. Farrow and Ball’s Down Pipe works excellently on these walls, adding depth and dimension. This color doesn’t shy away from making itself known and is a shade best used for accent walls.

Benjamin Moore Eternity

This soothing hue is an excellent choice for a gender-neutral nursery. It’s an easy color to live with and will not likely require any touch-ups within a year. Benjamin Moore’s Eternity can be cozy despite its more relaxed vibe, especially when matched with a complementary color.

Sherwin-Williams Smoky Blue

Contrary to popular belief, small spaces don’t need lighter paint colors to feel spacious. The gorgeous blue-gray of Smoky Blue is perfect for anyone afraid to go too dark. Moreover, it can add a bit of a moody feel to any space, something that’s easily accentuated with suitable light fixtures.

Time to be bold!

Many people are cautious about using darker shades to paint their home interiors. They feel these colors can swallow up a room, making it less inviting.
