Blue Note 2129-30 by Benjamin MooreRich blue wall paint helps tie together a range of styles in this New York City townhouse. “This was a really successful color — it made a great background for our mix of antiques, vintage and modern pieces. It really served to anchor them in a unifying surrounding,” architect and interior designer Joan Dineen says. “I think it is really unique in that ability.”The designer also notes that the color can change along with the time of day. “It also responds beautifully to changes in light,” she says. “At night it is quite restrained and elegant, and daylight brings out its exuberance — we love it!”
Hague Blue No. 30 by Farrow & BallIn this Los Angeles bedroom, indigo walls inspire a deep slumber. “I love to employ deeper, darker colors on bedroom walls to establish mood and coziness,” interior designer Lindsay Pennington says. “Hague Blue is an inky indigo that is neither too green nor too purple. Though it’s quite dark, it’s not oppressive, as the white bedding, mirrored nightstands, crystal lamps and metallic ceiling reflect the light pouring in from the windows.” The designer also notes that this paint is timeless and that in addition to walls, it also works beautifully on cabinetry and millwork.
