Blue Paint Colours

Pale blue paint colours offer a soothing and gentle aesthetic, inspired by the calming sights we encounter daily, like the sky and reflections in water. This natural colour, also a popular choice in fashion, can create a serene atmosphere. While blue is a common pick, concerns about it feeling too cold may deter some.

When choosing pale or light blue paint, consider the direction of natural light in the room. South and west-facing spaces can benefit from the cool tones during the warmer parts of the day. Conversely, east-facing rooms might be enhanced with a warmer colour treatment. For versatile options, consider shades like Bone China Blue and Delicate Blue. These hues, infused with subtle hints of other colours, seamlessly complement a variety of palettes.

The bright blue-green paint colours in the Little Greene palette add a distinct air of excitement to any project. Our classic Air Force Blue, the mid-strength blue with high pigment complexity, combines so well with Pink Slip, French Grey - Mid, red furnishings and gold. More strong and vibrant, Marine Blue can be paired to great effect with warm mid strength greys including French Grey.

Muted blue paints, like the popular Celestial Blue, are easy to work with due to their subtle incorporation of grey. This heavenly shade, a mix of muted blue with a touch of green, creates a beautiful and calming atmosphere in living rooms and bedrooms. For added ambiance, pair it with a stronger blue.

From our palette of strong blues, Royal Navy, Dock Blue and Basalt work well on walls or used all-over in dining rooms and studies, where an intimate cocooning feel is the order of the day. Hicks' Blue can also evoke the same mood of sophistication and stature. Smalt, bright and energetic, serves well in rooms with greater activity - including kitchens.

Let’s not forget front door paint colours – second only to the classic black, strong blues provide popular curb-appeal. In particular, the near-black Basalt and Dock Blue are chosen for their fantastic pairing with both chrome and brass door furniture.
