I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The white walls and navy sofa combo (plus a bunch of plants) is pretty much ubiquitous when it comes to living room design at this point. And if I had a dollar for every time a designer recommended Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy to me, I'd have more than enough dough to paint a room. Maybe even a whole house? That said, there's a reason for all the navy love. It's a versatile color. But if you're searching for something new and a little more exciting, and you're into navy, then a peacock blue shade may be where it's at for you.
I wouldn't say peacock is quite as neutral as navy, because there's definitely more green in the equation. And while some of the shades you'll find match navy in tone and intensity, this jewel tone, on the whole, is a little bit more glamorous and unexpected. I'm not telling you to abandon navy if you love it and want to use it in your home. Just maybe give peacock blue a thought. Because it basically does what navy can do for your space—ground your decor, introduce a touch of color to an otherwise tonal scheme, and even subtly reference nature (birds, duh!) and the sea. Let's look at peacock blue in action.
