“Real life photos” shouldn’t be relied on for color choice because your monitor calibration could be off. You need to see in person.

I agree, you need to see it in person, in different lights. If you use a deep navy maybe consider it in a sheen to give it more life.

Yes will try the colors myself but this is to help me narrow down which to test.

To test you go to the store pick up chips and bring them home. That is the only way. then you narrow it down and buy a quart of the 2 or 3 colors you narrowed it down to and paint them onto white boards and live with them a few days

m11675 I was looking for a navyish color for my guest bedroom. Was thinking BM Hale Navy but felt a bit too dark. decided on BM Newburyport. I ordered big samples from https://shop.samplize.com/ .

You can order colors from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams and Farrow and Ball. Easy peel and stick so you can move them around if need be. Does not take paint or anything off when peeling it off.

C2 also offers really big chips (9x13", or something like that).

We don’t even know where this color is going and you never choose a color from a monitor and everyones idea of a perfect color is different you need to go get some sample cans and test them in your space.

yes thanks everyone for comments on getting samples. just looking for some suggestions on a BM navy color but not too dark and not too grey. I found Downpour Blue and Symphony Blue but just looking for other suggestions.
