Color Combo: Jewel-Toned Blues and Naturals

This color combo is really an extension of our post on teal and white a couple of weeks ago. We wanted to expand the range to include jewel tones from cobalt to turquoise to royal blue. The saturated quality of the blues goes really well in a more subdued, natural environment...

Oooh, this is so soothing. I really love #8. I'd like a bedroom in that palette.

I've figured out that the only way I can use blues is like this--as an accent against whites and naturals. These are very inspirational. And I LOVE that Malm-like fireplace!

Im slowly coming around to blue, I'm actually in love with #7. I wonder what paint that is?
