Using navy blue in your home

Navy Blue is reliable when the room has contrast. Use it on cabinetry, doors, studies, dining rooms, or exterior trim with warm white, cream, brass, walnut, camel, or stone. North light makes navy quieter and heavier. South light shows more blue. Navy needs contrast. Beside dark floors and low lighting, it can collapse into a shadowy block.
