Have you ever wanted had to choose paint colors for your home and wished you could to dial up a professional designer and ask what their favorite color is what you are trying to pick out?
Here’s the next best thing! I’m going to poll my designer friends each week for their favorite “go to” colors across the color spectrum. Let’s start with one of the hottest colors right now, Peacock Blue. Peacock blue can range from soft blue to deep, bold blue and everything in between.

6. Laurel Bern of Laurel Bern Interiors –
Benjamin Moore “Naples Blue” #2057-30
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
Benjamin Moore “Naples Blue” 2057-30
“It’s beautiful in small spaces,
like in a small country
kitchen and has enough warmth to
look fabulous in a low light or north facing room”.
~Laurel Bern
7. Robin Siegerman of Renovation Bootcamp :
Benjamin Moore “Twilight” 2058-10
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
“I pick Twilight because ” it looks much deeper on the fan deck than it does on a wall. When it’s applied, it has a quiet vibrancy, that isn’t
apparent on the chip”. ~ Robin Siegerman
8. Jana Rae – Sherwin-Williams #SW0064 “Blue Peacock”
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
I like Blue Peacock “because it’s one of those colors that’s bold and dramatic but not over the top. It will make a statement whether it’s an entire room painted in it or just a single painted wood chair. Just like in nature it can be easily paired with neutrals or more bold pops of color like purple or lime green”. ~Jana Rae
Jana also likes Sherwin Williams SW6769 “Maxi Teal“

10. Peggy Platner of Platner & Co. Interior Design of Malibu –
Farrow & Ball – Lulworth Blue NO. 89
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
| “I prefer Farrow & Ball’s Lulworth Blue, as their recipes have a much higher pigment content than other brands which creates a visibly greater depth. In choosing colors, we always follow natures lead. A peacock offers so much vibrant inspiration for a room. Beautiful hues of blue that create the mood, depth and contrast.” ~Peggy Platner & Co. |
11. Ruthie Staalsen of DecRenew Interiors –
Sherwin Williams “Gulf Stream” SW6768
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]

My favorite “peacock” color is Sherwin Williams Gulf Stream SW6768 shown on the chair in the photo above. This chair was in one of our kitchens that was featured in Traditional Home Magazines special edition “Great Kitchens” May 2013. Fabulous Color!!! ~ Ruthie Staalsen

fall into the range of peacock blue?
This post reveals how differently everyone views color or thinks of a
specific color. Yet another reason why it is vitally important to work with
a professional when it comes to picking paint colors. Clear
communication is key and vital to achieving proper results!
Collect pictures out of magazines, start a Pinterest
Paint Board, Find a Fabric or shopping bag the color you want to use.
Small paint chips can be so deceiving. The designers know how it will
look on the wall given the light in the room or the reflections from other
finishes.
Tip: I always recommend painting large poster board samples
to pin around the room, you plan to paint so you can look at the color at
various times of day in various degree of light.
