Elle Decor: 15 Designer-Approved Blue-Gray Paint Colors
Blue-gray is a versatile shade that effortlessly bridges the gap between cool and warm, offering enough flexibility to complement virtually any room while still maintaining its sophisticated edge. Whether you lean toward its lighter, airier iterations or prefer the deeper, more dramatic versions, blue-gray delivers something special without the commitment anxiety that comes with bolder choices. It’s a chameleon-like color that can skew more blue in one light, more gray in another, with some formulations adding subtle green undertones that bring unexpected richness to the mix. It’s crisp against white trim, complementary with warm wood tones, and accommodating to everything from brass fixtures to colorful artwork. This isn't a color that boxes you into one aesthetic; instead, it adapts seamlessly whether your style leans traditional, modern, coastal, or somewhere in between.
Below, we asked designers to share their favorite blue-gray paint colors that they find themselves returning to again and again.
Beach Glass by Benjamin Moore
“Beach Glass is a misty blue with gray undertones that looks great in a lake house, especially in a bedroom or bathroom,” says Montana-based interior designer Adriena Daunt. “I love using these calming colors on the lake and, because Beach Glass isn't too light, it provides a nice contrast with white when used in a more transitional setting.”
