Need a Greyed Green Paint
Comments (22)Yes, Quietude is a beautiful color. My daughter just painted her nursery that color. It's definitely an aqua that's softened by grey when compared to BM Wythe, but I would like a little more grey in it. I think my husband would think it's too "pretty" lol! I am going to check out Imperial Grey. It's the one below Grey Wisp. Raindance is also on the swatch. Most of my quilts and duvet's have both greens and blue in them, so a blue grey green makes sense. I don't want a green with brown undertones. It looks too muddy. That's what I didn't love about Svelte Sage. So many of these blue greens are so close I feel I am getting nuts trying to find the perfect one. I even like BM Misted Green, which is another runner up. I tried BM Aganthus green, and while it's a pretty color, it could read a bit minty....See MorePainted gray, turned out blue?
Comments (11)Our perception of color is never in isolation, we see color as it relates to other colors. Our brain calls respond to stimulus but can respond differently when nearby areas of the brain are stimulated. One of my favorite experiments shows that our brains can actually make us see color that isn't there at all. https://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu.au/jw/light/complementary-colours.htm...See MoreNavy Blue paint struggles.

Comments (28)I went through 24 sample pots looking for the perfect shade of blue for my dark kitchen, so i definitley can empathize! Have you considered Benjamin Moore Van Duesen blue. It is a ”light” navy, but I see no purple or Green. Who knows how your light will present it? (BTW, I ended up throwing in the towel on finding the perfect blue, and went with cream instead...)

Comments (2)It's very pretty and looks great with the desk. Even tho it's not what you expected, it's lovely. Adding in decor, accessories will also help. I'm not surprised you got this result considering Argos' hue family; low Chroma colors from the Green-Yellow hue family can shift blue. It's actually a key color strategy if the goal is a grayed blue/blue-green. Can try changing the light bulbs but sometimes that's like spitting in to the ocean, has little to no affect on how the paint color looks....See Morecat_ky
