Navy is the New Neutral

So if you haven’t received the memo; greys, beige and tans are great but they aren’t the only popular girl on the block. It’s all about color. Yes, that’s right it appears color is making a comeback in a big way (yay)!

One color in particular that seems to be the new neutral is navy blue. I seriously believe that navy blue goes with everything. It’s such a rich color that makes both warm and cool hues look incredible. For example, if you pair it with golds and browns, it gives off such a sophisticated, mature feel. While coordinating it with greys and whites exude a timeless and classic feel.

One of the hardest parts with choosing a dark paint color and in particular navy blue, is ensuring that the color represents its truest form. That is, making sure the color looks the same throughout different times of the day. How dreadful would it be to have navy blue walls in the morning and then see navy/green walls or navy blue with purple undertones in the evening. Ugh!

Luckily, I’ve taken some of the stress out of this situation by rounding up some of the prettiest navy blue paint colors. However; you’re still responsible for slapping these colors up on your wall to make sure they are a perfect fit for your space!
