Paint colors can be tricky and it’s the number one topic I get asked about the most here on the blog. So I thought I’d start a new series highlighting the most popular paint colors, sharing my own personal tips, and also showing real life room examples I’ve found throughout blogland. Today I’m starting the series off with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy, which in my opinion, is the best navy blue paint color available. 

Benjamin Moore Hale Navy

There are so many times when the perfect navy blue paint color can come in handy. Whether you are looking to add an accent wall, paint your kitchen cabinets or piece of furniture, or even paint the exterior of your home, Benjamin Moore Hale Navy is a classic choice that can’t be beat. It’s timeless and versatile – as you can see in these rooms I’ve linked below. But it’s also a great neutral.

wah?

That’s right, it seems kinda weird that such a dark color can serve as a neutral, huh? But it’s true. This popular navy blue paint color pairs well with so many different colors – autumn colors like reds & oranges look stunning against this dark backdrop, but so do light grays and crisp whites and natural wood tones. And because it has a balance of both warm and cool undertones, it will pair nicely with almost any trim color and flooring surface.

It also looks great in all lighting situations. So whether you have a brightly lit southern facing sunroom or a dark windowless bathroom, Benjamin Moore Hale Navy can be the right pick for you if you’re looking to use one of the best navy blue paint colors available on the market today.

But don’t forget, Hale Navy is also a great choice if you’re looking for a great navy blue exterior paint. Perfect choice for your front door too! (be sure to scroll all the way to the end of the post for the most amazing lake front home painted in Hale Navy!)

I hope you’ve enjoyed this round up of my favorite Benjamin Moore Hale Navy spaces. It really is such a versatile color, I hope you’ll give it a shot if you’re looking for a tried and true navy paint color. But ALWAYS buy a sample before diving into any painting project – that $3 or $4 sample can save so many headaches in the long run! Better to be safe than sorry 🙂
