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!
BM Old Navy
BM Symphony Blue
Valspar Mystified
We only have Lowes so I'll be coloring matching either way so it's not about which brand to get, but which color.

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.

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!

@ladybee: totally agreed. I really like it, but it wasn't the navy I expected. That's after grey primer and two coats, fwiw.

I have never ever had any luck with Valspar paints, fwiw. Horrible coverage. Like four coats needed horrible.
