We love color at C & C Cabinets, keep reading to see some of the Cabinet Chic's favorite blues!
Feeling the Blues
During many of our design consultations recently, we keep being asked is blue in and will it last for their cabinetry? Blue tones are considered “cool” colors and they can either brighten up a room or create drama. From evoking images of the ocean, or evening skies, you can never go wrong with blue when you want to create the perfect ambiance in your home. When picking out a blue color for your custom cabinetry, we’ll likely recommend 2-3 sample colors. Keep in mind that sunlight, countertops, flooring, and even cabinet pulls can all affect how the paint appears in your space.
We love BLUE! From muted blue-gray tones to dramatic dark navy,
This is a shade you can count on to be stunningly chic for a long time!
Best Blue Tones for Cabinetry
Blue Gray Color
As far as neutral shades go, blue-grays are perfection! They can fade into the background for a calming effect, and allow your decor and furniture to shine. These tones can literally fit any room, regardless of size or space. If you want to choose a blue-gray, here are a few of our favorites:
Van Courtland Blue by Benjamin Moore
Give this one a try if you want a neutral blue-gray that is guaranteed to please.
Brittany Blue by Benjamin Moore
Brittany Blue is the perfect marriage of gray and blue and will create a calming oasis in a bedroom or living room.
Morning Fog by Sherwin Williams
Get ready in a tranquil master bath or closet with cabinetry painted in the color Morning Fog. So pretty!

Next in the line-up of fabulous blue color is the blue-green tones. If you want to brighten up a room or evoke a calming effect, blue-green is the way to go. These hues fit any room in your house but look especially breathtaking in nurseries, dining rooms, and living rooms.
Palladian Blue by Benjamin Moore
For a soothing fresh space, Palladian blue is the perfect blue-green color!
Tidewater Blue by Sherwin Williams

Dark Blue Color
Dark blues can add dramatic flair to any space. Generally, we would recommend using these darker colors as accent colors because they can tend to take over a room. These shades on a buffet hutch or island make for great haute couture accents. Using a dramatic bright white to accent deep blue is stunning! Be bold! Here are our favorite dramatic dark blues:
Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball
This color is a chameleon. Is it blue? Is it black? Green? It’s all of the above! Hague Blue is a moody dark blue color that will add that certain je ne sais quoi to your space!
Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore
Remember how we said that bright white and dark blue looks stunning together? We were right.
Gentleman's Gray by Benjamin Moore
This color adds drama to paneling, kitchen cabinetry, and accent walls. Swoon.
