11. Glass Slipper by Benjamin Moore In the same house, Harkovich opted for a different light blue in the master bedroom, one that’s a smidge more toned-down than Winter Ice. “Glass Slipper is a lovely soft blue with gray undertones. It evokes a feeling of serenity and pairs with neutrals and bedroom linens like a dream,” Harkovich says. “It is the perfect color for a bedroom or bathroom where you are looking for a peaceful retreat.”
8. Glacier Blue by Benjamin Moore “I love this color, especially when working with warm-toned wood floors,” interior designer Heather Alton says. The designer also considers it a top choice for lake and beach homes. “We definitely have a preference to use cool blues like this one near lakeside or coastal homes,” she says. “It’s such a natural choice and it doesn’t feel like a forced ‘beachy’ color because it falls into the backdrop. After all, the star of the show is the view outdoors.”
5. Borrowed Light by Farrow & Ball Just as they do with bright white, light blues work well with gray. The designers at McGrath II find Borrowed Light a wonderful partner for warm neutrals such as ivory and gray.
3. Cumulus Cotton by Benjamin Moore While researching their book On the Porch, Sandra Mahoney and James Crisp unearthed an old tradition that has become a signature of Crisp’s firm: painting porch ceilings light blue. “The light blue color was to keep the wasps from building nests on the porch ceiling because they thought it was the sky,” Crisp says. “I don’t know that there has been any scientific data collected on the subject, but I just like it.” Ever since, Cumulus Cotton has been his go-to paint color for porch ceilings. Other Southern traditions, particularly in the Lowcountry, credit fear of “haints” as the reason for the blue. According to legend, haints are restless spirits that won’t cross water, and painting a porch ceiling blue tricks them into thinking there’s water between them and the house. This is where “haint blue” gets its name.

Beach Glass is from Benjamin Moore’s Classics collection, which means it’s one of their timeless colors that goes with many different schemes,” Rosene says. “It’s a gray-blue but has a green undertone, and it looks very different in different lighting, from paler and softer to a little bolder color.”
soft gray cabinets (Light Pewter by Benjamin Moore) join soft satin-brass fixtures and a light marble backsplash and quartzite countertops for a refreshing look.
