Which blue paint colour would you choose?

Blue is a popular colour in the world of interiors and it’s easy to see why. Choosing the right blue paint colour can have a transformative effect on how a person feels when they walk into a space. From feeling an oasis of calm and serenity to dramatic and glamourous, choosing the right blue is a tricky one. We have put together a collection of our favourite blues from the Albany collection to help you achieve the perfect feeling in your space.

Light Blue Paint:

A light blue can help us feel serene due to the connection with the natural world. Reminiscent of wide-open skies or crystal blue shores, using a light blue within a space can help you to feel more relaxed and refreshed. Blue tints are also perfect for rooms with a lot of natural light or south facing rooms.

Cup of Sugar – An almost white with blue undertones

Waterfall – A pale blue with green undertones

Skye Boat – A pure blue hue

Inky Blue Paint:

Inky blues are deeper and therefore more dramatic. Whether you’re decorating a small room or a big room, inky blue tones can make a real statement. Think about combining with natural wood tones and pops of brighter colours to establish impact.

Storm Blue – A moodier blue with strong green undertones

Napoleon – A rich, deep blue

Denim Dream – A rich blue with strong purple undertones

Green and Grey Blues:

Blues with green or grey undertones can also be a playful way to experiment with the colour blue. Blue shades are more muted and add a level of sophistication to your calm oasis. If you would prefer a teal, check out this article>>

Strong blue paint colours can create a totally unique look, and a talking point with your guests. Painting samples of these blues onto lining paper and placing them within the space will help you choose the perfect blue.
