NAVY + AQUAMARINE

I’ve been obsessed with having a pop of aqua blue in my house, and found the perfect opportunity when I ordered this chandelier for my dining room. Under the chandelier will go a small round table that I was originally thinking would be black.

Now? I’m dreaming of a deep, saturated navy instead…

That kind of blue that in a certain light looks black … that’s what I’m going crazy for! Now I’ve just gotta find the right paint color… any suggestions?

    I love aqua with navy, deep navy. I painted a chair that deep navy, I think it was a Ralph Lauren color. I added more black to the original formula to make it even deeper. The chandelier is wonderful, what an exciting addition.

    Soot by Ben Moore. Ruthie Sommers used it…perfect black with a navy undertone…I used it on built in book shelves.

    Good luck.

    Been contemplating navy lately too. Something like the pillows you have shown. Benjamin Moore Blue Note is always nice.

    I second polo blue by Benjamin Moore. Our living room is painted in it and I love how the color morphs durring the day from a dark navy to an almost black!

    This is one of my absolute favourite colour combos- used it for my son’s room and adore how it turned out. My favourite true navy is Hale Navy but BM- it’s a real navy- not almost black but gorgeous and dark, without any hint of royal etc.

    Benjamin Moore’s Soot – I heartily second that vote. I painted a tiny downstairs powder room (just a toilet and sink) in this color and it’s GLAMOROUS. It’s become my “gentleman’s club” bathroom. Awesome.

    one of my favorite combos of all time — and eek-ed when i saw that Emily Henderson room there. One of my favorites. That sofa is SO awesome.

    Yum yum yum. I am loving this color combo.

    I think that deep deep blue is a great idea. It’s a very elegant color. I painted my walls a candy apple green with Behr paint and couldn’t have been happier with the results. I imagine they’d have a nice dark blue that’d suit your project.
