For a navy accent wall, subtle colors like white, beige, or light gray will work well to tone down the wall, while still enhancing and highlighting the elegance of the navy wall. You can also combine this stunning wall with vibrant accents like yellow, orange, or mint green.

Navy blue furniture works well with a variety of wall colors, ranging from light hues -- such as white tones and pastel tints -- to brilliant orange, lime green and fire-engine red. Choose a complementary wall paint to enhance the navy blue furniture and the other furnishings in the room.

Drawing from our experience, white, light gray, slate blue, sky blue, charcoal, and pale green are some of the best choices. These paint color choices perfectly complement the navy hue, creating a balanced and sophisticated bedroom palette.

Mix navy with red or green for a traditional space, or with other shades of blue for a tonal effect. Combining navy and black will create a sophisticated cool-toned feel in a modern kitchen, while navy mixed with warm shades of coral or terracotta will create a modern look in a bedroom or family room.
