F&B Hague Blue- south facing bedroom

Does anyone have this colour?
I was all set to go with elephants breath but saw this colour and loved it and thought wails be quite cosy and dramatic for bedroom. I think it would look lovely at night when lit with lamps but worry it would be too dark for the day.

Room is large south facing and very sunny- one wall all windows with high skirting and ceiling will be white down to the picture rail also fireplace in room and 3 doors which will also be white so not actually too much wall to cover iykwim.

Have painted a big test patch but finding it hard to visualise on whole room. So does anyone have this and love/ hate it. Shall I go for it or play it safe with EB?!

Not much help really but we have Drawing Room Blue in a south facing bedroom and it's lovely. Proper Navy Blue.
Have you looked at Pinterest?

Yes have been scouring Pinterest. Looks great on those rooms just not sure if I am brave enough to go for it! How do you find the drawing room blue in the daytime?

I love it, we've got some exposed stone walls and the woodwork's in Wimborne White. It looks fresh and not at all gloomy.
There's a lovely bedroom in Hague Blue on the F&B Inspiration site, have you seen it?

i love it
go for it- if it looks bad just repaint or just keep 1 wall.

We've got Elephant's Breath in our south facing (but with a tiny window so not that bright) bedroom. It's nice. Neutral, restful. Meh.

We've got Brinjal in our (sunny, south facing) living room and it's fab. It's not painted yet, but the (north facing) TV room (yes, we have two living rooms, sorry about that) is going to be Hague Blue and I'm dead excited about doing it. Like you, we've got lots of white doors / shutters / architrave / cornice.

I had to hold my breath a bit to do the Brinjal, which I guess is where you are at now. But I'm very glad I did. In the day time the contrast between the white woodwork and dark walls looks really dramatic and just right with the high ceilings etc. Not dark at all. We've also got quite a light carpet, which probably helps.

The room that is going to be Hague Blue shares a door with the Brinjal room, and I think the two are going to look great together. Love the depth of green-ness in the blue.

Go for it!

We have it a north facing lounge. I love it! We do have white paintwork and white above the picture rail which lightens it.

It is a dark colour but not dinghy. Look really good against the crisp white.

How much time do you spend in your bedroom during the day though? Our lounge is an evening room and I love the cosyness.

I do love dark colours though..

My fav colour -- have you plans to put anything on the walls ? - an old gold ornate mirror or art would break it up if too much...what colour/texture furniture will you put in the room? Go go it....will look incredible with Brin
