The cold winters start making me dream of cheery ocean blues… If I can’t have them beneath my feet I’ll at least take them on my walls. I saw this wall color in Domino Mag a few months ago and am starting to think it may be time to cheer up one of the dull cold rooms in our home. This color is called majestic blue # 2051-40 by Benjamin Moore. It appears to have a rich undertone and if you can get past the holiday wreath decoration a real cheery and uplifting element comes shining though. It makes me want to make a warm mug of chai tea latte and sit under a cozy blanket reading island fairy tales while day dreaming of my next beachy encounter.

I am planning on using majestic blue in my family room. What color do you think I should pair with it for the lower paneling?
Hi Jann,
Oh how lovely! Please email over pictures when your done so we can see how this beautiful color works for you in your family room. I personally am a fan of this color with a real milky shades of white or super creamy tones.
For a milky white I would suggest simply Dove white by Benjamin Moore or blasts…I do not have my whites here with me today.
For a creamier tone I like Benjamin Moore white rock BM 918 or cameo white BM 915
A fun accent color would be very minimally to incorporate some tangerines, or rich browns maybe on your pillow cases!!!!
Hope this helps!
many thanks,
LULU
