My son has F&B DeNimes and it's great. Not too dark, a lovely mid-grey blue

Dulux Denim drift is lovely.

BasiliskStare · 02/07/2022 15:50

Lulworth Blue I think is a bit more cheerful than DeNimes or Skylight - but all are nice

MyCatIsInCharge · 02/07/2022 15:56

Skylight is a lovely colour but maybe more duck egg blue. Borrowed Light is a more actual blue. Depends what you want!

Remmy123 · 02/07/2022 16:09

Thanks all .. great suggestions I'll check them out

Dulux Borrowed Blue if you want a light one. Not too bright/pure in colour, and well away from the more purple end of things where most blues seem to be these days. Nice and fresh, goes well with wood furniture- maple, oak, etc.

I’m a huge fan of Denim Drift.

Remmy123 · 02/07/2022 18:19

Great suggestions!

i really like the look of Denom drift hut it's very similar to his brother's

My daughters have Dulux blue opal. It's a nice sky blue and a little brighter than it's shown online.

snowspider · 02/07/2022 18:51

Dulux Azure Sky 5 is lovely, it's a lighter more seaside blue and very fresh without being pastel.

I have F&B Skylight in the shower room a bit grey for a four year old.
What about a turquoise blue so that he won’t be following his brother?

PraiseBee · 02/07/2022 19:31

Little greene, pale lupin

SwedishEdith · 02/07/2022 19:36

Little Greene Regency Blue or Pale Berlin

bravotango · 02/07/2022 19:53

Lulworth blue as above PP - lovely bedroom colour

mafsfan · 02/07/2022 21:24

F&B Ultra Marine Blue - it's a special edition or something. In a tin with plants and things on. Such a beautiful colour!

maryberryslayers · 02/07/2022 21:46

My little boy has Johnstones sparkling frost. It's pale but a lovely sky blue.

Deep Space Blue by Little Greene

My daughter has denim blue.

Can he not go along to the shop to have a look at colour samples and just choose the one he likes?

My 8yo has recently had her room redecorated. She chose Dulux Azure Sky 1. It is definitely a strong look, but looks great with white ceiling, woodwork, and furniture, and most importantly she loves it.

We have blue ground from f&b for the nursery, it’s beautiful!

ElsieMc · 03/07/2022 10:52

Just painted my teenage gs's bedroom to freshen it up. He picked the colour and I didn't like it but once on we have had a number of comments on how nice it is. Cheap and cheerful, decent enough quality Dulux Nordic Blue in matt.

We also painted the kitchen in Crown's Duck Egg Blue. This is quite a strong blue not delicate and pale by any means but looks great against off white units.

Mummyme87 · 04/07/2022 20:02

We have a dulux Nordic blue

Can't he have red? Or a red feature wall?
