The 9 best blue paint colours, from navy to barely there neutral

Green blue

This dramatic, rich blue has green undertones. Pair it with velvet decor accessories in the winter months and bright pops of colour like yellows or reds during the summer. Hague Blue, Farrow & Ball.

White blue

If you’re someone who is a fan of the all-white look, but wants to (slowly) venture into the territory of colour, this is a great pick. It’s a soft robin’s egg blue that’s perfect for bathrooms or living rooms. Maui Mist, Behr.

Beachy blue

This blue has grey-green undertones, almost like the colour of sage. Its fresh hue gives off a beachy feel. Greenwich Village, Behr.

Grey blue

Another excellent neutral, this barely-there-blue has grey undertones, making it perfect for someone who is hesitant to venture into bold colours. Raindrop White, CIL. 

Sage blue

From Chatelaine’s own Beauti-Tone colour collection, this sage-like blue has green undertones and is a beautiful neutral. Whipped Seafoam, Home Hardware.

Soft navy

This luxurious blue is a subdued navy, perfect for someone who is looking for a darker shade but still wants their space to feel airy. Luxe Blue, HGTV Sherwin-Williams.  

Bright blue

This beautiful hue is fresh, bright and peppy and is an especially great colour for a kitchen. Caribbean Mist, Benjamin Moore.

Grey blue

If you’re not into taking bold paint colour risks (like painting your living room navy) but actually want to make a statement, this shade is perfect. It’s a timeless, sophisticated hue; paired with the right accessories, it could create a nautical-inspired oasis in a kitchen or laundry room. Province Blue, Benjamin Moore.

Turquoise blue

This statement turquoise-blue hue would make an excellent accent wall colour. Newport, Dulux.
