Hi there,
I am trying to find a paint color that is a soft blue-green to paint a kitchen/family room with white cabinets and a white brick fireplace. Our granite is Blue Pearl which is dark grey with flecks of blues, grays, and greens. Any ideas? I am going for a water/beach feel in the room. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

Hi kglynn, check out these two featured ideabooks by Houzz contributor Kelly Porter. There are a lot of great tips for choosing a great blue as well as green for your home. Hopefully you can find some inspiration there!
