Color Spotlight: Wythe Blue from Benjamin Moore
Mark your calendars! Come over to our Facebook page this Wednesday, May 11th at 7 PM mountain for personalized paint picks for YOUR home from Cyndy!
Hi Remodelaholics, Cyndy here from The Creativity Exchange back for this month’s paint color post. If you happened to miss my post last month, I shared great colors that work well with warm wood tones and trim here.
For my post today, I’m doing another Color Spotlight on a beautiful happy color called Wythe Blue from Benjamin Moore.
Wythe Blue | Benjamin Moore
With spring here and the summer coming, I really wanted to highlight Wythe Blue today because it’s such an all-around happy, versatile and spectacular paint color that is the perfect color for a quick refresh anywhere in the home. I have mentioned in my past Color Spotlights that a great sign of a well rounded paint color is if it looks good on everything including interior walls, exterior and cabinetry. In my opinion, only about 20% of paint colors work beautifully in any light and both interior and exterior applications.
Wythe Blue is really an all-star color and I wanted to show what all this rich green/gray with an ever so slight hint of blue color can do.
Interior Walls
In space with little or no natural light, the gray in the undertone stands out more for a beautiful muted blue/green color.

In spaces with a lot of natural light, Wythe Blue leans more citrus-y and the blue/green stands out more.
Interior Cabinetry
Wythe Blue looks amazing on cabinetry and it’s such a happy alternative to grays and whites. It’s a great way to add a little more character and color to a space.
Wythe is also stunning used in the back of cabinetry or shelving.

Interior Doors
Interior doors are a great place to add a great pop of color and Wythe Blue is an all-star interior door color. As you can see in the image below, Wythe Blue on the door really makes this beautiful entry shine.

Exterior
Wythe Blue is one of the most popular exterior door, trim and shutter color right now because it just adds rich color and life.

Have I made my case for finding a spot to incorporate Wythe Blue into your home? I hope so because it’s just a happy and versatile color that will bring a smile.
If you’re looking for more color inspiration and color palettes, you can find me at my blog The Creativity Exchange here. Also, I have several Pinterest Boards here loaded with even more versatile paint colors.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Cheers!

Good Morning! I have Wythe Blue on the ceiling in my family room with Palladian Blue on the walls and China White from my fireplace, ceiling beams & trim. It really is beautiful!!
I was considering painting my living room/dining room ceiling in Wythe Blue. The walls are Farrow and Ball Archive. I think I’ll do it! Did you use it full strength or diluted with white?
What is the grey shown in the very top ‘hutch’ picture? The Wyeth Blue and the grey look so good together.
Hello! We are about to paint our exterior and our front door will be Wythe Blue. I also would like to know the answer to this “What is the grey shown in the very top ‘hutch’ picture? The Wyeth Blue and the grey look so good together.” Is it the Revere Pewter?
I love that color – so cheerful and fresh!
