Best Shade of Greenish Blue to Accent Grey Walls

Liz MacPhail Interiors

Green and blue have both had their moments, but why not go for the best of both worlds? Blue green paints are perfect for creating a serene, tranquil vibe in any room in your house. From robin's egg to teal to turquoise, blue greens come in a variety of shades. And while they add a lot of vibrant color to your space, you don't have to take a risk to use them in your home—they work in traditional spaces just as much as they do in eclectic, bold ones.

• Color Family: Blues
• Complementary Colors: Oranges and reds
• Pairs Well With: Neutrals such as gray and white work well with bolder blue green hues
• Mood: Depending on the shade, blue green creates a serene, sophisticated vibe
• Where to Use: Anywhere. Blue green works in bedrooms, bathrooms, exteriors, and more

Even once you've narrowed in on a color, it can be difficult to find the perfect shade. That's why we called in the professionals. Here, we've rounded up the best blue green paints that interior designers love to help you find the right shade for your space, no matter your decor style.

Sherwin-Williams Topsail

Marnie Oursler

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

Anthony Wilder Design/Build

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.

Like most blue greens, Sleigh Bells is a chameleon color that takes on a blue or green tint depending on the colors nearby.

Farrow & Ball Green Blue

Here at Hillcroft

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

Case Architects & Remodelers

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

Noel Buller & Casey Speer

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

Design: Black Lacquer Design

Photography: Jessica Alexander Photography

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.
