Now, in my experience doing Online Paint Colour Consulting, the requests for a blue-gray with a GREEN undertone greatly outweigh the blue-purple end of things. a gray-blue with purple is often seen as more romantic and slightly more traditional than the coastal vibe found in gray-blue-greensĪnd while these are ALL COLD COLOURS, you can definitely adjust the type of blue you see by choosing which way it leans!.add even MORE purple and you’ll get a purple with a blue undertone (or a cool-toned purple).add ENOUGH purple and you’ll get periwinkle.When you add purple to blue (technically you’re adding red, but I’m pretty meat n’ potatoes around here), you’re going to shift your blue, making it look a bit cooler. these types of gray-blues are often referred to as beachy, coastal or spa-inspiredĪ blue-gray with purple tends to look a bit cold, which makes sense as purple is most often viewed as a cool colour.add even MORE green and you’ll get sage green, which is a COOL green (literally and figuratively).add a reasonable amount of green to your blue and you’ll get colours like aqua, robins egg, and teal.This won’t make it WARMER, but it can look a bit more inviting compared to a colder blue blend (however, that IS open to perception). Shown here, Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray, a gray with a SUPER PASSIVE blue (blue-green) undertonesĪND REMEMBER, when it comes to choosing a gray-blue, don’t just choose the one that YOU like, you also need to consider the ones that best suits the products, exposure, and finishings in your room, even if they fall a bit outside of your personal comfort zone.Ī blue-gray with green is STILL a cold colour, as blue and green are traditional cool colours, however, green can soften the look of blue.
So, even when the blue in your gray is an UNDERTONE, it can also have an undertone of its own tucked inside its deep lil’ pockets. Just like gray will have undertones, blue also loves to flex its colourful muscle (which I wrote MORE about HERE if you’re curious). The thing to remember with blue-gray is that it’s rarely just blue-gray. Personally, my happy blend is a mixture of white wine, red wine, and Boom Chicka Pop Popcorn, but each to their own. Gray-blue seems to be a magical blend that hits a certain happy place (not THAT one, you dirty bird). We’re pining for colours that bring our heart-rates down and help us relax in our homes…which we’re spending an AWFUL lot of time in these days. Why is gray-blue all of a sudden one of the popular kids? Well, I think that psychologically, a lot of us are looking for calm. And while they’re certainly still running (Forrest Gump style), I’ve been getting a LOT more requests for blue-GRAYS in the last few months.
