Blue Paint

Blue is a true classic, and one of the most versatile colours you can put on a wall. From soft, calming pale blues to rich, dramatic navy, there's a shade of blue for every room, whether you're painting walls and ceilings, wood and trim, or a bold feature wall. All our blue paints are natural, breathable, non toxic and low or minimal VOC. Part of our range of natural paint colours.

By far our most-loved blue is duck egg blue, the soft, timeless blue-green that sits between blue and green with a hint of grey. It's a firm favourite for kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, and looks just as good on cabinetry and woodwork as it does on walls.

For light, airy schemes, our pale and sky blues include Whisper, Gossamer, Iced Sky, Powder Blue, Iceberg and the gentle Forget Me Not, alongside heritage and Victorian favourites like Wedgwood Blue. Want more depth? From warmer, softer mid-blues to cooler, dustier tones, shades such as Cerulean, Mansfields Blue, Wardour Blue and Soft Sapphire add character, while deep navy and midnight blues like Starry Night, Twilight and Smalt Blue make a striking feature wall. Prefer a blue that leans green? Our blue-green and teal tones include Sea Foam, Celadon, Verdant Lagoon, Shallows and Fjord.

Whatever the project, we've got it covered: breathable kitchen and bathroom paints for damp-prone rooms, exterior masonry paint for outside walls, natural wood stains and paints for fences and trim, and soft blue limewash for a chalky, characterful finish. Decorating a damp or mould-prone room? Our breathable anti mould paints help keep blue walls fresh. Not sure which blue is right? Order an A5 peel & stick swatch to try it on your wall first.

How do I paint over dark blue walls?

Painting over dark blue requires proper prep to prevent the colour from showing through:

First, clean the walls – remove dust and grease for better adhesion. Then use a compatible primer / undercoat to create a stable even light colour to build upon. What is the difference between a primer and an undercoat - click here. 



Why does my grey paint look blue on the wall?

Grey paint can sometimes appear blue due to the naturally cool undertone colours of Greys. Many greys have blue or green undertones that can become more visible depending on lighting. The room lighting can make a big difference.  North-facing rooms or cool LED lighting can bring out blue tones in grey.

The surrounding colours can make a big difference – Reflective surfaces, furniture, or décor with blue tones can influence how the paint appears. If your grey looks too blue, opt for a warmer grey with beige or taupe undertones, or switch to warm lighting (you can easily change your bulbs to warmer kelvin to create a warmer space)

History of blue paints

Blue pigments historically were derived from the lapis lazuli, a semi rare stone prized by the early Egyptians. It was always too expensive to be used in everyday homes, so it was always know to be a luxurious and 'divine' colour. Ancient Rome used the same blue in frescos and murals, as well as decorative tiling. 

Georgian Blues: Blue persisted to be a prized colour until eventually synthetic blue was manufactured, allowing the masses to also use tones of blue. The standout blue in more modern times is the duck egg blue, used in the Georgian and Regency eras in the 18th and 19th century and persists in fashion and trends to this day!

Victorian love of blues: The Victorians really did start to embrace richer and deeper colour tones, especially when paired with heavy fabrics and deep mahogany furniture. Blue wallpapers featured heavily at the time, intricate blue patterns often used in kitchens or libraries.
