Horrible coverage. Like four coats needed horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-paint-color#post-2379478 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 15:37:05 +0000 rattles 2379478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: totally agreed. I really like it, but it wasn't the navy I expected. That's after grey primer and two coats, fwiw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-paint-color#post-2379442 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 15:16:03 +0000 ladybee 2379442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: that's not as navy as I expected but still very pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-paint-color#post-2379413 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 14:53:37 +0000 rattles 2379413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: here's a picture for reference </p> [attach=2013/15/nyycld.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-paint-color#post-2379058 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 20:21:30 +0000 jape14 2379058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you want a true, dark navy, go with a different choice altogether - Benjamin Moore Hale Navy. If you want a more royal blue toned (lighter) navy, then go with BM Old Navy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-paint-color#post-2379020 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 18:32:42 +0000 Ash 2379020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-paint-color#post-2378958 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 14:47:46 +0000 ladybee 2378958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: good to know! So did it end up lighter then expected? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-paint-color#post-2378947 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 14:23:11 +0000 rattles 2378947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We painted DD's crib Symphony Blue! I'll get a picture after nap time, if you'd like. I like the color, but it came out far lighter than I expected. It's almost more royal than navy blue. I do love it, but based on your inspiration/those pictures, you might want one of the other options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-paint-color#post-2378935 Sat, 05 Dec 2015 14:06:24 +0000 ladybee 2378935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are painting a dresser for LO and I want it to be navy. Through my internet searches I've come across three choices. Help me pick!</p> <p>BM Old Navy<br /> BM Symphony Blue<br /> Valspar Mystified</p> <p>We only have Lowes so I'll be coloring matching either way so it's not about which brand to get, but which color. </p> [attach=2199/15/nywfqo.600x405.BM-Old-Navy.png] [attach=2199/15/nywfqp.402x600.BM-Symphony-Blue.jpg] [attach=2199/15/nywfqq.236x353.VS-Mystified.jpg]
