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?

  3. 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.

  12. 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.

  19. 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.

    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.

  33. I advise you look into Ressource paints, it is THE reference in Paris.
    This aqua blue looks like their F44, see this link:
