Palladian Blue

The Basics

What are people saying about this color?

The color is just lovely against white trim. It is such a gorgeous blue/gray/green and I can imagine it being used successfully in many different types of spaces. It's one of those chameleon colors that can look different depending on the light, time of day, and what it is paired with.

Light blue is a popular color for bedrooms, and with good reason. However, it’s easy to take a wrong turn toward baby blue, and end up with walls that look flat, icy, or juvenile. Palladian Blue by Benjamin Moore is the antidote. This blue is chipper yet decidedly mature, evocative of Lady Grantham’s bedroom in Downton Abbey. Waking up for the daily grind might be a little easier in this bedroom, surrounded by walls that mimic a sunny, cloudless sky.

What kind of spaces does it work best in?

This pretty green-blue looks best in areas with lots of natural light, paired with bright white trim and cabinetry, natural wood tones and cooler, light-colored stone tiles and countertops.

Where could you expect to see it?

Palladian Blue is a perfect color for bathrooms, bedrooms and laundry rooms. This color gives a clean, soothing, relaxed look with just enough softness without being too bold. It definitely gives off the boho beach chic, modern farmhouse or serene spa vibes.

Who shouldn't pick this color?

North facing rooms or rooms with minimal natural light can make Palladian Blue look more grey and muddy than the clear, coastal crisp look with warmer lit rooms.
