Sherwin-Williams Topsail

Sherwin-Williams’ Topsail is a lovely airy aqua with green and gray undertones. Designer Marnie Oursler of Marnie Custom Homes and DIY Network’s Big Beach Builds loves this hue because it evokes the serenity of the beach and helps create a vacation-worthy vibe in your home.

“[It’s] the ideal accent in a bathroom,” she says. ” The colors of the sand, the ocean, and the sky create the calming and welcoming effect you want in a beach home.”

Even if you don’t have a beach house, Topsail is a lovely way to pretend you’re on vacation every day of the year.

Benjamin Moore Sleigh Bells

Another light and airy blue green our designers love is Benjamin Moore’s Sleigh Bells. A slightly darker aqua, this hue is a lovely one for a bedroom or a den. According to Keira St. Claire of Anthony Wilder Design/Build, Sleigh Bells “creates a serene feeling” and pairs beautifully with the water seen outside this bedroom’s window.

Farrow & Ball Green Blue

A muted medium teal, we love Farrow & Ball’s Green Blue shade for offices and bathrooms. It is a subtle shade that can look almost dark grey in certain lights, and a wonderful choice for adding a pop of color in an otherwise neutral color scheme. Pair with lighter grey shades or soft pinks for the most impact.

Sherwin-Williams Hunt Club

Allie Mann of Case Architects & Remodelers loves Hunt Club because it’s bold and daring, but also incredibly versatile. “[This shade] is a color chameleon,” she says. “This bold choice can switch between looking more green or with a slightly blue hue on demand, which makes it very desirable and popular to use.”

This is a great choice for anywhere you need to add a pop of color—an island, a bedroom accent wall, or even the ceiling in your powder room can benefit from this spunky and rich color.

Clare Current Mood

Clare’s Current Mood is definitely more of a green than a blue, but it has subtle blue undertones that give it a romantic feel. It’s a deep, dark color that will saturate any room, so make sure you have enough natural light to complement such a daring color.

Farrow & Ball Inchyra Blue

Caitlin Murray of Black Lacquer Design says Farrow & Ball’s Inchyra Blue “perfectly walks the line between blue and green.” “Thanks to a bit of black, it reads as moody and complicated—making it simultaneously stimulating and soothing,” she says.

This shade definitely is wonderfully moody and lends a dramatic feel to any space. Try it in the bedroom as an accent wall behind the bed or on a kitchen island. We love pairing it with gold accents, but it also works well with beige or tan.

Sherwin-Williams Teal Stencil

If you’re hunting for a blue green that falls in the middle of the road when it comes to saturation, consider Teal Stencil. Kimberlee Marie of Kimberlee Marie Interiors says this shade “is a versatile color that pairs well with a variety of neutrals and nicely complements other pops of color.”

“It also has faint tropical vibes which can help make everyday feel like a vacation with this color around,” she continues. Try it with bright white colors to create a contrast that adds a lot of dimension to your space.

This versatile blue green is perfect for entryways, dining rooms, or bedrooms.

Benjamin Moore Narragansett Green

Hunting for a great blue green that works just as well on your exterior as it does inside? Tracy Morris of Tracy Morris Design loves Benjamin Moore Narragansett Green.

“It is a great shade because it is the perfect balance of a deep green and blue, evoking a rich hue. I love using it on a front door to complement bluestone and the colors of nature,” says Morris.

Though this color is rich and vibrant, it also feels traditional and classic at the same time, making it the perfect choice if you want a color that works in any home decor scheme.

Tara Mangini, Co-Owner of Jersey Ice Cream Co. says sometimes finding the right blue green takes some trial and error. For this lovely sunporch, that color was Behr Underwater.
