Dark Blue

Considered one of the darker shades of blue, this moody hue has been a favored choice for military uniforms since the 18th century. Because of this association, dark blue has long been revered as an authoritative color, symbolizing integrity and reliability. As a color of the sky and sea, it has a natural calming effect, perfect for interior design, in addition to fashion. It pairs nicely with a variety of colors, including soft pink, crisp white, and mint green. Looking for something a little more daring? Pair this dynamic hue with burgundy, turquoise, or scarlet red. Its somber demeanor asks to be used sparingly. Paint a focal wall dark blue then sprinkle with frosty white, pink, or sage green accent pieces. Need to add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral environment? Add this hue in the form of pillows, throws, or artwork. Outdoor spaces can also benefit from this popular bohemian hue. Patio rugs, planters, or an elegant bistro set in this stylish blue adds instant eye-catching appeal. It is also an elegant addition to any kitchen in the form of glassware, appliances, or ornamental pieces.
