One thing that has recently attracted my attention (and my heart), as more and more people take on saturated neutral in their home. Gone are the days of crisp white and blunt gray tones – now people want neutral with character and pigment. You want Benjamin Moores Hale Navy.
The number of people with whom this color is decorated also increases with atmospheric, characterful interiors. While the shadow (perhaps unfair) found itself as “coast” as “coast” or “Preppy” as “coast”, these days are good and really over. And I would argue that Benjamin Moores Hale Navy Paint Shade has a lot to do with it.
Ella Baker, interior designer at Element Design Studio, which is listed as one of the most popular colors of Benjamin Moores, describes it as a “navy blau in its truth – deep, rich and balanced”. Where you may be able to have a black or dark brown handle, the Hale Navy may be the elegant and more expensive -looking alternative.

Many designers lead Hale Navy's prosperity to its deep charcoal tones, which give him a calming intensity. “Hale Navy has this rich, atmospheric depth, which feels both the waistband and sophisticated,” says Marie Cloud, founder and main designer of the Indigo Pruitt Design Studio. “It has the ability to be brave and yet calming, and makes it a point of contact when designing rooms that need a strong but inviting presence.”
His deep blue sound offers a perfect balance – it has enough saturation to give drama, but enough neutrality to stay classic. “While Marine is timeless, Hale Navy feels particularly relevant today, since it agrees seamlessly with the aspiring Fisherman Kerntrend, which celebrates the rough beauty of the coastal interior architecture through weathered textures, natural materials and a deep connection to the sea,” adds interior designer Ella Baker.

Depending on how it is styled, Benjamin Moore's Hale can feel crispy and coastal or deep and moody, which makes it adaptable in a series of design aesthetics – traditional, transitive and modern spaces. “Whether in an impressive degree, as an idea navy living room or even a cozy bedroom, it is suitable for both sophisticated and casual aesthetics,” explains Marie.
She continues to explain how the shadow plays particularly well with natural light and “creates shifts in the mood all day, which makes a room dynamic and layered”. This prevents a room from feeling dark or restrictive, provided that there is a light source – natural or artificial – in order to collapse the undertones of the color. The perfect way to create dark color schemes that are not overwhelming.
The Hale Navy from Benjamin Moores in particular works well in Home Offices (top), bedrooms, eating rooms and even in cupboards or mill work. “In smaller rooms, it can create a jewelry effect, while it gives a strong architectural presence in larger rooms,” says Marie.
As for Ella's favorite application, she says that as a kitchen cupboard color, she cannot walk past Hale Navy, especially “paired with a warm walnut, ancient brass and an intrusive marble”. The contrast of the materials is brave, striking and yet timeless.

Regardless of whether you are already planning a dark blue color scheme for your living room or present this color in a luxurious bedroom. Understand the shadows that complement each other, you can create a more harmonious space.
“I love to combine the Hale Navy with warm neutral like soft taupes, creamy white and camel tones to create contrast and at the same time keep the look inviting,” says Marie.
The subtle warmth of these tones plays the cool charcoal tones of the Hale Navy. Blue's natural complement is yellow, and Hale Navy contains a touch of purple, which also makes orange a nice addition to this color. The selection of neutral with these undertones is also an easy way to create a coherent palette.
“For a brave approach, mustard yellow or deep olive green can insert an unexpected pop,” says Marie, while he decorated with jewel tones such as Emerald Green, Deep Plum and Burgundy, gives a Hale Navy base depth and luxury.
And if you speak of luxury: “In terms of the texture, it is wonderfully matching with natural forests, brass and structured textiles such as velvet or linen for additional depths,” adds Marie.
