Please help to choose blue for kitchen island

3 years ago

I want to repaint my island and need help choosing a blue color. I narrowed down to a few BM : Hudson Bay, Newburyport blue and Kensington Blue. The rest of my kitchen is BM cloud white. Thank you!

I considered Newburyport for my kitchen cabinets & island. It is a gorgeous color but was a little too light & not rich enough for me, so we’re doing bm hale navy. It’s the perfect navy in my space.

Island pendants ï¿½ need help choosing, please

Badgergal, your Otto pendants are beautiful and look so great with your tile BS. I noticed the height difference in your reveal post -- looks good. Pricklypear, I've debated the curvy track a lot. This island lighting issue is going to give me an ulcer, lol. Amanda, thanks, I like both Tech pendants too. When you say I should pay for more holes, do you mean I should use those pendants without a track? GWlolo, believe me, I have been shopping around a lot for track systems. Because of our vaulted ceiling, which is 10' high above the island, I need a system that has 2' rigid supports as an option. That seems to eliminate most companies. We were originally going with a Bruck system with their Rome pendant, but my designer did not like their cable supports and how many would be required. (Plus, the cost was not any lower.) Hosenemesis, I'm glad to hear you like the Dervish too. I think 3 of them would be too much for an 8' island. Just to clarify, I am trying to decide between using 3 smaller pendants, like the 5" diameter Tech pendants, or 2 larger (15" or 22" diameter) pendants, like the Dervish. I welcome more comments on which option is better for an 8' x 4.5' island. TIA!

I think all the bits and pieces you posted look really nice together! The only thing you didn't post was the grey tile. I would pick a warm grey (no blue in it).

I think your idea would be great, but being miss practicality I am concerned about how much it will show dirt. I think it would be lovely (in the right hues- not the example you posted which is too gold at least on my screen- but will definitely take a different direction than your original inspiration photo. So much more serene, but stunning.

Helping choosing a blue colour for island hood

Thanks opanone. The hood is not expected to get hot. It will get moist with steam and greasy, but not hot. I could see that being more of a challenge with painting an oven. rebasheba: I want the fan to be beautiful. I find the plain stalnless to be too modern for my taste. I am sort of transitional leaning a bit towards traditional. I don't need the fan to be bold. I want it to be pretty, but also harmonize with the other blues/greys and colour choices. There will be no hiding this huge island fan, so your eye will be drawn to it. Think of it as a nice big, pretty, light fixture.

Yes it’s hale navy. It does look lighter than the paint chip & I’m so glad for that! :) If you Google pictures, it looks lighter on cabinets & islands than on walls.

Here's another option from something I saw online recently. This is Blue Note from Benjamin Moore.

The colors are so similar that it's impossible to say from photos and images of the color which will be best in your home. I will say that I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. They are all very similar, they are all nice colors that lots of people like. Seriously, I believe you could throw darts at the three and end up having no regrets. That's more or less what I did with my dining room paint color. I winnowed a lot of options down to about 5 and didn't have a clear preference. Eeny-meeny-miny-moe and I had a choice I've never regretted.

FWIW, Newburyport Blue has been a long-time favorite (though I've never had occasion to use it myself).
