ikwewe Sea colors are my favorite colors. We just did our basement in a sea blue, and it really pops.

Holli Williamson This color absolutely calms me. Sigh! I have lots of red accents. This is my new favorite color. Do they clash? Sea glass accent wall in a kitchen with small red appliances?

jehaller @ Holli
I love the combination of sea glass and red.

kennedytarheel We ripped out an old 1948 bathroom and redid it with slate black floor, granite walls and Ben Moore Woodlawn Blue HC-147 with white ceiling and towels....what a huge difference! It feels like I'm at the beach or spa.
Holli Williamson, we did the corresponding kids' bedroom with Woodlawn Blue walls, while woodwork and ceiling. we have red and coral oriental carpets and red (with pattern) duvet covers on the beds and it looks great! Go for it!

shartap I started to paint my bedroom a blue color but it was way toooo blue, so I mixed the paint with a color called French Silk and the resulting color I call aquamarine! I love it!

rollinat We've just painted our bedroom in Sea Salt and I love it - very calming and fresh.

helen_g My ceilings are palladian blue, with manchester tan walls and soft white trim. I LOVE it. My husband, who is a complete color-phobe, took some convincing but he's OK now...lol

Dona Rosene Interiors Hi Rachel- just FYI the wall color in both of my projects above, the kitchen and the breakfast room are Benajmin Moore "Palladian Blue". I love to use Palladian Blue on porch ceilings too! Supposedly the use of this shade of blue confuses hornets and wasps and such into thinking its sky not a ceiling and they will not next there! It was commonly used on porches in the south throughout history. Thanks for featuring my rooms in your article!!

aprilis1960 I love sea glass and have a whole display vase full of it. Shells and rocks also are great to display.

Lisa Robinson Sea Glass and turquoise are perfect with red, especially the coral red-oranges. It's one of my most favorite combinations.

Robin Young I just painted a small condo kitchen walls Palladian Blue, with White Kashmir granite counters and Dove White cabinets, trim and ceiling. Result is lovely. The kitchen has a lake view which enhances the color.

cgrabowski Just had my master bath and laundry painted in sw sea salt 2 weeks ago.(new construction) It looks amazing. I have had many compliments on it.

stuscano I just renovated a beach cottage master bedroom and kitchen in CT in Woodlawn Blue. It is my all time favorite!

Carolyn Udovich I am s glad this is the color of the year as our new home has a redesigned bathroom and dressing room with this wonderful color. I added glass vessel sinks with waterfall faucets and white marble to complete the vision. I am so excited to see it completely finished!

tbmansfield These colors are my favorite right now! Just painted our soon-to-be dining room Benjamin Moore "Flora" from their affinity line. It's the perfect shade of sea glass blue/green with a touch of gray. I love it!

Bendheim Glass Thank you for featuring this color! Not only is it beautiful and soothing, but studies have shown that natural blue hues inspire creativity, an extra benefit... Your post also reminds me of Bendheim's sea-green decorative glass. It can be the star of a quick DIY kitchen cabinet door upgrade.

Chrissie C62 My favourite in this pallette is Benjamin Moore's Wythe Blue. I love how the colour changes throughout the day. It always makes me think of the sea. The one thing I will kkeep in my kitchen reno is this wall colour!

pstevenson I love the palladian blue - can you tell me a corresponding colour in an australian paint manfacturer's range?

houscom Dear kennedytarheel,
You colours you have used in your new bathroom sound very similar to the colour scheme I have in mind for my bathroom reno and I was wondering if there is any chance you had a photo? I am a big fan of blues, blue greys and sea colours and I got this great vision of exactly how I want my bathroom to be but I am a little scared I'll waver and give into something mundane, and that others will find it too dark. I am planning on using a mid blue grey granite on the walls with a small iridescent tile (natural pewter/gold tones with bluish tones) used sparingly as thin widely spaced horizontal lines and possibly in some panels or as an alchove in the shower or behind bath. Its this tile that really inspired me but of course its expensive. I am hoping to keep the bathroom very light and airy by knocking out a wall then popping it out (as an atrium window) and having a large window with a centrally place vanity as a feature in this wall, again maybe using the tiles as a surround to the mirror above the centrally placed vanity.
Seeing what you have done may help to keep me focused. Thankyou
- (if its all too hard I understand as I recently took some photos of my bathroom to show architect and they looked awful)!!

Let's Imagine I have been using Palladian Blue from Benjamin Moore for the last 3 homes I've owned. It's so peaceful & happy & I still love it.

nedfredb G'Day..... I also live in Australia and would love to use these Sea Glass Blue hues... could you please recommend any Aussie paint companies or specific colours... cheers Ned

ikwewe Oz folk, I found that Bunnings carries British paint, here are their paint choices. There are quite a few in the Sea Blue and Green ranges.

nedfredb G'Day .... Thanks Heaps Ikwewe :) I will check them out..... We have a new store just opened near us, and I've just returned from there!!! Cheers Ned

readerskeeter Serindipity...When we purchased our home, the final decision in our "whole house" interior paint job was the color for the master bedroom. I picked a sea glass blue when I was totally burned out from making too many decisions at once. Seven years later, three of our rooms have been changed, but the master remains the same. It faces three directions and the constantly changing light enhances the different shades of this magical color. I love it, my husband loves it and everyone who sees the room loves it. It is Valspar "Distant Valley " #5002-3. Not expensive, but loaded with class.
I have changed the things in the room periodically, yellow and red accents at first, then brown and red, then lavender and blue; I like change but the color endures!

mugsy1703 I have Palladian Blue in my daughter's bedroom, in my laundry room and on the inside of the tray ceiling in our rec room. GREAT crisp, clean color for a laundry room.

designzombie BM has a color called Sea Glass. Sometimes it looks blue, other times green. It's a great color for a guest bedroom - very relaxing and soothing.

lc29 Holli, my bedroom is painted a color slightly darker than sea glass and I had the hardest time finding bedding to look right. If it was green it looked like I was trying too hard to match the walls and missing the mark. I lived with all white bedding until I couldn't stand it anymore and finally found bedding in light turquoise and white, with accent pillows in prints of reds and pinks and it looks great. So those colors definitely work together. My daughter has painted the walls of her kitchen turquoise with white trim and she has red small appliances, it's a great look for her retro style!

judithesl I've thought about using this color in my home on the northern California coast, but I worry that it would feel too cold, especially during our foggy summers.

Holli Williamson I live near glass beach so I have a real fondness for sea glass green/blue. My artist daughter says to stay away from anything gray because of our foggy Northern California coastal weather. I'm thinking accent walls. LOVE sea glass green!!

ikwewe Some of the sea colors are pretty vibrant, like a sunny day. A lot do have a cool gray cast to them and those could be avoided for the cooler wetter areas. Check out this living room in San Francisco, for example:

nedfredb G'Day.... Don't have to worry about cold weather effect from colour here... the other day it was 47c (approx. 116f) IT WAS A SHOCKER!!!!!!

Holli Williamson Ikwewe, what is the name of the paint color for that living room in San Francisco. I do live in a cool foggy costal area with too may grayyyyy days. That green is vibrant and soothing. Like caledon
??

ikwewe Holli, this was posted in answer to that question on the picture page, see link below picture:

Mark English Architects, AIA
Hi, I believe it was Benjamin Moore cedar grove 444
This color is part of the Classic Color Collection,
though we may have customized it a little after sampling.

Angie Kinzel I painted my living room Palladian Blue with Cotton Balls trim, and after five years I'm still in love with it!

houscom Hi, Wondering if any Aussie residents have had success in matching Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue or Woodlawn Blue with any Aussie paint available. Thanks to ikwewe for your Britsh Paints link. Must check if the BM site is that interactive! Cheers

Diana Bier Interiors, LLC I've always loved Palladian Blue, Whythe Blue, and anything blue/gray/green. That Pantone dicate of "Color of the Year" is such a hype! Who cares what they think? The only problem is that if the color you happen to love is out of fashion, it becomes difficult to find anything in it

Sara Reynolds I just painted all of my hallways in Sherwin Williams Sea Salt. I love it!! Sometimes I see blue and other times I see green. It is very calming and light. It is neutral but colorful at the same time. I would recommend this color for any room!

jenrcoy I have a color like this in my dining room and I LOVE it. It was painted by the contractor before I bought the place so I have no idea what actual color it is. When we move in I wanted to change it, but over the years here I have grown to love how some days it looks aqua, other days it looks sage green and on still others it looks gray. It is so versatile it's amazing!

Garrison Hullinger Interior Design Inc. Thanks for including one of our projects in your post.

jcartagena Ben Moore's Glass Slipper is another wonderful sea glass color, my favorite!

cute_nicky26xoxo I love sea colors and I love bathrooms my mom and I just need two sinks we live in a noisy apartment next to the freeway but this isn't about me it's about you I love your wonderful design I would of already bought it but I'm poor!
