This velvety rich hue looks incredible in a variety of applications from your home’s exterior to a kitchen or bathroom. 

If you’re looking for some Hale Navy inspiration, read on for a few ingenious ways you can incorporate the color in your own space.

Paint Your Exterior in Hale Navy

One standout feature of this paint color is its gray undertone, which gives it a more modern feel. You can update your entire home’s exterior with this paint color for a dramatic impact and some bold curb appeal. 

Thanks to its versatility, the deep blue makes Hale Navy houses stand out, especially with a creamy white trim. 

Don’t be afraid to use this color as full exterior paint for the entire home. With white shutters and trim throughout, it can literally transform the entire look of a house.

Make a Statement with a Blue Front Door

If you want to start a bit smaller, paint your front door in Hale Navy. 

Paint the trim of the door in a gorgeous white color and you’ll instantly create a dramatic entryway. 

The deep tones of blue add a bold look to your house, and it’s a fantastic choice for homes going for that classic nautical-inspired look. 

Since this color is so deeply saturated, it’s the perfect choice for a front door. Complete the look with a beautiful eucalyptus wreath for your front door. 

Try Hale Navy in the Kitchen

Looking for something other than a white kitchen? Make a statement with Hale Navy kitchen cabinets! 

Paint your cabinets this color, then pair it with some satin gold hardware or silver hardware to make it pop. Copper and bronze also work well with this color of cabinetry. 

You can also try a two-toned look and paint either your top or bottom kitchen cabinets in this color to create an impressive Hale Navy accent. Finish it off with white marble countertops for a luxe look.
