Cobalt blue and white is a combination that coordinates great with a variety of colors. Our inspiration photo shows it with light pink, adding depth and a strong graphic quality to an otherwise softly tranquil room. In addition to pink, cobalt blue and white also look great with green, yellow and red. A decor classic, examples of this beautiful combination have traveled the world in motifs from east Asia, the middle east and western Europe.
My favorite pairings of our color inspiration are with mint green and aqua. Pairing it with yellow is a European classic. Whichever color you choose, you can't go wrong with cobalt blue and white.

I think it looks fresh because of the additon of the pale pink accent!
Looks great with orange, too. Or a bright yellow.
Love this room! Any idea what the wall color is?
I love the room all together, the accents of pink is really sweet and fresh. with the chair, is there a fabric that could mirror the same effect of the authentic glass chair? I feel that with a fabric material it will blend in with the room and look softer.
This room is beautiful. I have a knee-jerk reaction against blue and white sometimes, because my grandmother's house was ENTIRELY decked out in those two colors, but this looks so fresh and charming!
