While neutral paint colors still hold as the standard, bolder colors are starting to take center stage. If you’re looking for a rich color update for your home, Benjamin Moore Hale Navy offers a deep blue that coordinates with a range of styles. 

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 that it has both cool and warm undertones.  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 Hale Navy Blue Front Door

If you want to start a bit smaller get a sample of Hale Navy first, since it is such a bold color.

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.

What Colors Go Well With Hale Navy?

White always works well against Hale Navy when used for trim. If you’re wondering what white goes with Hale Navy, ivory, cream, or off-white tends to look best. A color called White Dove, also from Benjamin Moore, is the perfect match for a creamy contrast. 

If you prefer a crisper white, try Cloud White or Simply White by Benjamin Moore.
