10 Elegant Blue Paint Colors for Accent Wall

In most cases, dark and bold shades tend to work best as an accent wall. And if you want to go with this approach, then charcoal blue is one of the best options for you.

This very dark shade had a lot of gray undertones that made the blue hue almost unnoticed, but if you take a closer look, there is still a hint of blue there.

We love to use this color to paint the accent wall when decorating any spaces that use a lot of blue furnishings, as the charcoal blue wall can still look flawless with those items, but at the same time avoid the monotonous looks that often occur if you are using any similar shades.

If you want an accent wall that looks much more neutral compared to any typical blue accent wall, then you may try this choice.

The smoky blue had a strong appearance of gray undertone in it, and that’s why it looks way calmer than any other similar shades, but at the same time, still spreads the calming and tranquil vibe as any other blue.
