Let's take a look at some of my favorite examples:

If you prefer more of a sky blue hue on the wall, try adding a hint of blue-gray in your accent pillows and curtains.

Two shades of blue gray work well together here. The hardwood floor adds warmth and prevents the room from looking monochromatic.
