Which Colors Should I Use With Navy Living Room Walls? 6 Shades Designers are Using Now to Enhance This Blue

Navy blue living room with rust accents.

Electing the right accent shades that go with navy blue walls is a science and an art. Dark blue is a bold design choice in some regards, so it's tricky selecting a tone that jives with its complexity. It stands out more than your usual white wall, but the depth of its shade deems it a faux neutral of sorts, making it just as grounding as a subtler brown or beige.

Some accent colors might be obvious picks, like white or cream, and come to mind thanks to their reputation of being a classic pairing with navy. Others might catch you by surprise. Deep olive greens and bold marigolds are equally as chic and powerful when sidled up next to dark blue.
