paint colors- gray walls with navy accent wall?

5 years ago

Hello, I will be painting my son's room soon and I am looking for suggestions on people's favorite gray color and blue accent color....Thinking of painting a neutral gray with a darker blue/ navy blue accent wall. His room has one north facing window. Some suggestions made to me by our local Benjamin Moore store:

Gray: Light pewter, Nimbus, Shoreline or Silver Chain

Blue: Indi Go-Go, Van Deusen Blue

Any other suggestions or ideas from people who have done something similar?

Thanks in advance!

personally I think that with an accent wall, the other three walls should match the white ceiling. I did find one grey and navy room that I really like though!

or instead, consider doing the lower half navy and upper half light grey. I think that might be a great way to help keep the room from feeling too dark.

if the natural light is strong enough, consider navy for all walls:
