Blue-greens are interior design's perfect paradox: statement-making but soothing, trendy but timeless. They're the colors that clients request when they can't quite articulate what they want, but know they need something "not boring" and "actually livable." They’re equally at home in a sun-drenched beach house as they are in a moody Manhattan apartment, and they shift their personality with the light while maintaining their inherent sophistication. Below, we've tapped our network of designers and color experts to reveal their go-to blue-green paint colors.Jack Pine by Benjamin MooreCourtesy Benjamin Moore“Jack Pine is a gentle green with a hint of blue underneath. It feels calm and timeless,” Ariel Darmoni of 123 Remodeling tells us. “I’ve used it in living rooms and bedrooms, especially when clients want color without going too bold. It works with both classic and modern styles, and it looks beautiful with wood furniture or warm lighting.”Paint Color: Jack Pine by Benjamin Moore (692)Sea Salt by Sherwin-WilliamsCourtesy Sherwin-Williams“One of my favorites if you're after something a little more soft and more on the green side is 'Sea Salt' by Sherwin-Williams,” interior designer Courtney Cole tells us. “It's great for traditional homes, but will look particularly great if you want to create a coastal-style aesthetic.” Paint Color: Sea Salt by Sherwin-Williams (SW 6204)Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowWellfleet by Portola PaintsJoyelle West Photography“I love Wellfleet by Portola Paints,” Hannah Oravec, owner at Lawless Design says. “It's a deep hued limewash paint that subtly changes throughout the day.
