The blue color family has long been a popular choice for paint due to its timeless appeal. It adds a touch of sophistication and depth to any space, making it a favorite for both traditional and modern interiors. Midnight Blue N480-7 from the BEHR Designer Collection is no exception. This deep blue-gray, with more than a hint of black, evokes the shadows of the midnight hour, cocooning you in serenity. It’s a versatile and timeless color that enhances the beauty and functionality of any room in your home.
Let’s explore how Midnight Blue can enhance various room types.
In a living room bathed in natural light, Midnight Blue creates a striking contrast with lighter furnishings and decor. The natural light coming brings out the depth of the color, making it appear almost velvety.
Midnight Blue walls can serve as a dramatic backdrop for a formal dining room. Ample amounts of natural light will highlight its depth and elegance, making the room feel both sophisticated and welcoming. Including furniture with warm wood tones make this room cozier and inviting.
In a home office, Midnight Blue can provide a calm and focused environment. Natural light will keep the space feeling open and airy with the dimensionality of the dark walls. Pairing it with light-colored furniture and plenty of green plants can create a balanced and inspiring workspace.
In a staircase with minimal natural light, Midnight Blue looks well balanced when anchored with white and paired with a warm wood tone through-out.
Midnight Blue provides a grounding yet stunning appeal to a home exterior, especially when paired with a crisp white trim and light toned brick or stonework.

Gorgeous Midnight Blue !! Wish I was able to repaint my entire house with this new color. Also love the deep grey which was featured previously… also one of my favorites.
