    OK ladies, I just tracked Karen (the designer) down and she told me it's either Sherman Williams "Retiring Blue" 6763 or "Swimming" 6764. Thank you Karen for the information, what a huge help! I'm so excited now!!!

      Can you please tell me what paint color/brand this is? I want to paint my little girl's room this color. Thank you!

      Me too!

      I'd like to know the paint color on the walls also
    • 9 years ago

      I guess we will never know the color of the paint, ladies. :(

    • 9 years ago

      I'm ready to paint and it would be a huge help if I knew what this color is!

    • 9 years ago

      Thank you Violet! Are you using the color? I would love to see how it turns out for you. I have been obsessing over the perfect color for my little girl's room (3.5 years) and just love this color.

    • 9 years ago

      I just bought a sample and will put it on the wall. Will keep you posted Karen!

      I'm about to paint my 9 year old daughters room blue. I just bought a sample can of "swimming" from Sherwin Williams. Has anyone confirmed is this is the color in th photo? I love it!

      I think it's "Retiring Blue". We ended up using it in both my girls' rooms. We all love it! "Swimming" is a little darker.

      I can only use Benjamin Moore can anyone help with what would be the closest match to retiring blue ?? Thank you
    • 8 years ago

      Benjamin Moore in Palladian Blue seems close to the color? Has anyone tried that color?

    • 8 years ago

      Won't they color match? I bought my Retiring Blue sample from a Benjamin Moore store.

    • 5 years ago

      Benjamin Moore’s “icing on the cake” is a match in my opinion . “Barely teal” is a bit deeper and brighter

    • 4 years ago

      I used Benjamin Moore Emerald Vapor in my house. It’s slightly lighter and is beautiful.

    • 4 years ago

      Grand Hotel Mackinac Blue by Valspar is pretty spot on.
