In honor of the newest arrival into the royal family, let’s talk about the on-trend style and versatility of ROYAL BLUE.
Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy HC-154 in lacquer finish
After all, it’s one of Pantone’s top fashion colors of the year – and there’s no doubt that dark blue is HUGE in the world of decor right now. One of my favorite combos is royal blue and raspberry:
Dark inky blue looks yummy with yellow:
Cobalt looks lovely with lavenders and purple:
Navy blue looks gorgeous with greens:
The truth is, dark blue is the new black – it’s a versatile neutral that can stand the test of time. I mean, what color DOESN’T work with royal or navy blue?

Loved this post! That second image really caught my eye as I am in the midst of adding Greek Key trim to some drapes.
All this week I have written Royal themed posts in honor of Prince George.
Love your blog!
One of my favorite colors..then and now. Love all the photos!
Love any shade of blue. Glad by house is in line with the latest trend, because I love my blues.
That is my favorite combination- navy and pops of raspberry. Love your pictures- especially that first living room- gorgeous!
I purchased a royal blue couch for my first apartment after getting a ‘real adult life job’. Five years later, it is STILL my favorite aspect of our house! We’re starting the hunt for a new sofa, and I’m leaning toward another of the same hue!
Loved the post!
Mary,
I’ve specified several navy/royal blue sofas lately! It’s a great neutral without being white/off-white, which can be difficult to maintain 🙂
Kristie the living room has me swooning!
Adore the velvet’s, the colors, the rug; stunning!
