Hi all,
I'm looking for a blue/grey paint color for a boy's room, any recommendations that you like? I'm ordering swatches from Land of Nod and Pottery Barn Kids.
Thanks!

I haven't used it yet but this color has come up a lot online lately.

I found it helpful to do a Google Images search for whatever color name I was considering to see how it looks with different fabrics and in different light. You could also do a blog search for your bedding name and see what people have paired it with.

We just painted our bathrm Benjamin Moore's Adagio and it's beautiful!

We used Benjamin Moore Sweet Bluette for DD's room and I love it. The color really changes with the time of day/amount of sunlight - sometimes more blue, sometimes more gray tones. If you google "sweet bluette" you'll find lots of google images with the color in different settings.

Benjamin Moore's Sea Haze is a lovely blue/green/gray combo.

Behr Raging Sea and Flint Smoke are both nice

Behr Raging Sea and Flint Smoke are both beautiful I think. Raging Sea is in our bedroom and I love it! Flint Smoke is a lighter color and in my bathroom.

We just painted our basement bathroom a color that leans more grey than blue, but I love it. It's Behr Sparrow.

Our master bedroom is this color and it's wonderful, highly recommend. Also love BM paint, esp the Aura (I haven't tried their newer no-VOC one since we haven't done any painting since it came out but I've heard that's also very good).
And a general tip - keep a spreadsheet (google docs or whatever) with paint colors, including the number and the exact finish. So useful when you need to get a quart of touchup paint a few years down the road!

We have this color in our bathroom and it is a nice blue/grey. (It is bluer in person than it seems in the link)
