Believe it or not, you add more blue in accessories. When the blue gray wall is the back drop to a true blue it looks grayer.

You can change out light bulbs to ones that cast yellow (incandescent).

Behr Etched Glass does actually belong to the Blue Hue Family. It’s a greyed-out, knocked-back near neutral, but it is still inherently blue.

And that’s great advice. sitting it next to more colourful blues, whether textiles, accessories, furnishings, will make it appear more greyed by comparison.

I will look into Led bulbs that cast yellow as you've recommended. In addition, I will also look into getting a painting or two as well as accessories that are blue. Our kitchen, as an example, has stainless steel refrigerator, microwave, etc. The cabinets are Cherry in color. Would you also recommend painting those white? Thanks!

Marylee, I had no idea about the blue Hue. The folks at the Home Depot and the BEHR representative at the store never mentioned it.

Angelo - have a look at the Colorography Lab at The Land of Color .com. I think you will find it very interesting.

What is shared here, that you see little evidence of elsewhere, is that ALL paint colours readily available to us on the high street, belong to identifiable Hue Families.

This includes all blacks, whites, greys, near neutrals, as well as more obviously colourful colours.

See the Colorography Lab.

That little nugget alone, would give us fair warning of what to look out for when testing a new paint colour in our space.

That blueness you note is an inherent part of Etched Glass’ colour DNA.

Thanks. Any thoughts on curtain colors, ornaments, accessories to use? I am including several pictures for your reference.

Your tan sofas play-off the walls well.

Adding more colourful blues really will work, but only go down that route if you are happy to include more in your room. Perhaps some patterned blues in lampshades? (standard & table) Also within rugs and cushions.

Really it is a blue not gray and even the name of the color should have been a hint.For sure do not go with more yellow lighting that will make all other colors look off. Stick with LEDs 4000K and either go the more blue accessory route or choose anothe color,

Marylee, I have not used the color wheel before. I looked up the Etched Glass paint color we used and can see that the Hue is 239.547. In order to see color that complements it, such as our tan sofas, do I simply go on the other side of the color wheel as the image you shared in your reply? thanks again as this is very insightful to me.

Thanks Marylee H, I certainly appreciate your thoughts and recommendations. I love Mediterranean colors which would play well with our wall colors. Do you have any suggestions as to wall art that we can get and where? the walls are high and long as you can see from the pictures. We tend to like contemporary and classic art. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Angelo - I am in the UK, so have no localised recommendations for you, I’m sorry. But local galleries will always gladly share examples of those they have on their books.

Also end of year exhibitions from creative courses at colleges and universities are another great resource.

You have an incredible space which could really support some large pieces that you love!

Thank you Marylee, I greatly appreciate your suggestions!.
