Create a zen-like oasis with this medium gray shade softened by beautiful blue-green undertones. Blue Smoke’s cool tones mirror tranquil watercolors. Gleaming white countertops and a stunning marble backsplash brighten the space. Brushed nickel hardware, soft gray accents, and a plush rug supply the perfect blend of pattern and texture.

Add a calming color to any neutral space with Krypton. This cool blue gray creates a comforting coastal vibe without coming on too strong. Strong gray undertones make it easy to pair this halcyon hue with crisp white or warm natural accents.

4. Behr Half Sea Fog

A medium grayish blue with hints of teal green, Half Sea Fog is reminiscent of quiet drizzly mornings. It’s a timeless blue that naturally casts a sense of ease.

Soft Blue Cabinet Paint Colors

Soft blue is the current darling of the professional design world. And rightly so. Soft blues invigorate any space with clean, cozy comfort. These sentimental shades- faded denim, ocean waves, foggy mornings – these brilliant hues effortlessly coordinate with a variety of decor styles.

Keep in mind that lighting changes the tone of blue shades considerably. Consider your natural light exposure and your existing trim when choosing a soft blue paint. Shades with a touch of gray tend to withstand the test of time. I’ve listed some of my tried-and-true favorites.

5. Benjamin Moore Cortland Blue

Clean. Classic. Elegant. This noble old-world blue is a beautiful blend of blue and gray. Van Courtland Blue may be inspired by historic landmarks, but it lends itself to contemporary spaces with ease. It’s a timeless shade that will never be out of fashion. Van Courtland Blue brightens up this modern laundry workspace. White quartz counters and brass hardware pop against the soft blue sheen for a polished finish.

6. Benjamin Moore Normandy Blue

A distinguished shade of dusty blue, Normandy Blue makes a bold statement without overwhelming a small space. Use it in your open concept kitchen, or to highlight architectural details. This medium gray blue is reminiscent of cheerful cafes where you linger over coffee with friends. It’s a perennial favorite for interiors and exteriors. The patterned tile mosaic backsplash and ornate cabinetry trim take center stage in this stylish kitchen design featuring Normandy Blue cabinets.

7. Behr Adirondack Blue

A deep blue with cool gray undertones, this refreshing shade is as hypnotic as the fog-enshrined mountain range that inspired its name. Adirondack Blue is a true team player. It balances bold accents as easily as it breathes new life into traditional spaces. As illustrated in the featured design scheme this blue works well with a range of eclectic styles and finishes.

8. Sherwin Williams Revel Blue

A grayish azure color with cool undertones plays with the borders of the color spectrum. Although Revel Blue is considered a light blue, it dabbles into purple territory just enough to provide an air of nobility to your kitchen/bath space. We’ve learned that shades that blend two colors together, (in this case purple and blue), will vary greatly under different lighting conditions. In this example, the transition from dark floors to light countertops and upper cabinets really allows the lower Revel Blue cabinets to shine.

Did you know that navy blue has been concluded to be the most relaxing color? Navy kitchen cabinets may be a hot trend, but it’s no flash in the pan. Dark blue and navy cabinets have withstood the test of time because it is so high-end looking. While many trends have fizzled out, these versatile hues have been favored by designers for decades. Simply put- navy is the new black. Here are some of my favorites.

The undertones are navy with a tinge of green. It transitions beautifully from day to night. Pair with white subway tile, white countertops and chrome appliances for a modern, clean kitchen design.

10. Farrow and Ball Stiffkey Blue

A moody blue that gives us all the right feels! Stiffkey Blue is inspired by the Norfolk Beach where the mud and cockles share this deep navy hue. In the daylight this blue feels vibrant and inviting while the evening brings forth a more intimate mood. It’s a traditional shade that lends itself effortlessly to contemporary design.

12. Sherwin Williams Naval

I found a true navy blue! SW Naval is a rich navy blue that is an excellent option for your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room cabinets. Mix with warm or cool tones, silver or gold hardware, white or gray accents…the possibilities are endless with Naval as your anchor (pun intended).

13. Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue

My dining room walls are painted in Van Deusen Blue, which reads like a beautiful dark blue denim. This is my go-to color when I want the feel of navy in smaller or dimmer spaces. It’s a cool navy tone with very little undertone, so the quality of the color primarily depends on light exposure. In well-lit spaces Van Deusen appears in its true form as a medium dark shade of blue.

14. Behr Midnight Blue

There’s something inherently comforting about a navy and white color palette. It’s fresh without feeling fussy.
