Friday Favorite - 6/28/13

Those that know me well know that I have a strong preference for blue colors. Naturally, I couldn't help myself today by posting a terrific looking blue color for this week's Friday Favorite.  I love Benjamin Moore's Santorini Blue!

Why is it such a great color?  Santorini Blue is a smoky blue with definite gray undertones. (This is key when using a blue color so it doesn't come off as too baby blue or powdery).
 
Where would be a great place to use this color?  Believe it or not, I would love to see this color used on kitchen cabinets!

I envision Carrera Marble countertops and some dark stained wood floors. And, depending on what you put with it, I believe this color could give off either a French Country vibe or a very contemporary feeling.
 
What other colors would go with it?  I think a warm wheat color would suit this color very well.  I could imagine a ceiling painted in a wheat color to offset the coolness of the blue.
 
 
 
 
If you are interested in making it even more interesting, soft coral colors would work well too both in fabrics and artwork.
 
 

Have a great weekend!
