Sorry that I can't post pics, but I have that color in our MBR/MBA since August, and love it. It looks greenish-blue sometimes, grayish-blue other times, depending on the light. We love it...the only thing was matching fabric/towels to it. I didn't want to spend the prices Pottery Barn for their towels.

Is Buxton blue at all close to Nantucket Fog or Yarmouth Blue? I originally painted my bathroom Yarmouth Blue. A poster from the past, Buffalotina, used it in her vintage style bath. I found it too light. I'm very happy with Nantucket Fog. I have white beadboard, off-white crackle tile, old-fashioned porcelain knobs. If you want to see pics, I could post them.

Silvergirl, I'd love to see your pics.

DeeDee, I'm having a hard time finding towels to match as well. I originally had a towel from Ty Pennington Style from Sears to match the color to, but they don't make those towels any more so I'm on the hunt for something complimentary. If you see anything, let me know.

I have Nantucket Fog/Santorini Blue too. I will try to take a better picture, but had this one in my file. You can see a bit of the paint. I will say towel matching has been hard.

Every color towel I purchased at Linens&Things or BB&B seemed right in the store (with the paper paint chip), but wasn't quite right when I got it home. I ended up getting white towels with "embossing" (is that the right word?), and white with a thin blue stripe that matches somewhat OK. After all that time and trouble returning things, I should have just forked over the extra $$ for the Pottery Barn "porcelin blue" towels. The duvet cover on the bed is from PB and matches well. Silvergirl: Buxton Blue is definitely not a light blue...medium.

OK...here are some better pictures...

I know what you mean about matching with the paint chip in the store. I have purchased and returned countless towels. I am about to order some from Lands' End that are white with blue embroidery. We will see how it matches. I also have been trying to match towels to BM Kittery Point Green for my kids bathroom.

In the past I have painted the color on a good size piece of a poster board and brought that around with me to match the color of towels or anything else needed for a room. I think the bigger color swatch is easier than that little piece from the paint store. A dear friend (also a decorator) taught that to me as well as buying a quart of the color and painting it in the corners of the room and living with it for a couple of days. You can see how the color works and changes with the changing light. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for all the replies. My husband painted yesterday and I'm absolutely in love with the color. I'm going at lunchtime today to see about towels. I'm thinking of trying to compliment the color rather than drive myself nuts trying to match it. JC Penny has Americal Living towels in a powder blue that I think might look pretty.

Keep the suggestions coming...and I'll post pics as soon as I can (probably tonight).

Alexamd: Beautiful bathroom. I'm thinking of doing a marble vanity top for my washstand...and I love your mirrors. May I ask where you got them?

alexamd - where did you get that linen tower? it looks like something i could use and have had a hard time finding the right size & style

thanks
lisa

I can't wait to see your pictures. The mirrors are from Restoration Hardware. They have a 20% off sale a few times a year and I purchased them last August.

Toadangel: The tower was made by my cabinetmaker. I really like it. The bottom half is a hamper and the top is shelves.

Alexamd: Love the mirror...I'll have to see about that. I saw something similar in Lowe's...so I'll compare and let you know.

I did find towels today!!! Chris Madden Ribbed Hotel Towel at JC Penney. The ribbing kinda echoes the beadboard. I got them in the SEAMIST color. They look like a perfect match in the store...keep fingers crossed that they will be at home as well. I took the towel with me that I had the paint matched up with...so I'm pretty confident.

Coming back to report that the towels I bought yesterday at JC Penney match perfectly to the paint...YAY.

I haven't been able to take a pic yet but I will try tonight...

Thanks again for all the replies.
