I have been dealing with a major toilet issue and I need a break to do something more fun, so I'm contemplating picking up a couple of paint samples.

Our dining room is currently a deep red, which everyone rather likes but is limiting the color options in the adjoining living room and kitchen. I've seen some dark blue dining rooms recently and everyone in the house likes them also, so I figured I'd get some samples and do the whole poster board test thing. Blue can almost be a neutral (think pairing jeans with various colors) so I'm thinking a dark blue might be the 'drama' aspect we like from the red, but allow more flexibility in the other rooms.

So, what is your favorite dark blue for a dining room? I don't think we want something too purple, more like a really deep cobalt maybe?

(The room does not get great light - it has a south facing glass block window only - but it is fairly open to the living room and kitchen which do get better lighting. We are also planning on installing a wall of built in cabinets that will be white most likely, so that will help break up the color, as I know a lot of the blue dining rooms you see have white wainscoting or similar to give the room some brightness. Once the cabinets are in place, the largest area of painted wall will be where we have our picture ledges for a changing 'art gallery' - lots of creative people in the house so we like being able to change things up - and those will also break up the expanse of blue.)
