Tradewind by Sherwin-Williams

Credit: Courtesy of Manufacturer 

“Tradewind complements the expansive sky of the shoreline and encapsulates the ocean's breeze. The way light dances off this color creates an aqueous environment and a serene space for rest.” — Lathem Gordon and Cate Dunning of GordonDunning Interior Design in Atlanta, Georgia; gordondunning.com

Hazy Blue by Benjamin Moore

Credit: Courtesy of Manufacturer 

“The name is a bit of a misnomer! This is a sprightly, clear turquoise of medium intensity. It’s a deeper hue than popular Palladian Blue (also by Benjamin Moore), so it stands up to intense light, without ever looking shrill.” —Robin Henry of Robin Henry Studio in New York, New York; robinhenrystudio.com

Sea Salt by Sherwin-Williams

Credit: Courtesy of Manufacturer 

“This is our go-to for a beachy bedroom. It is blue, green, and gray all wrapped into one calming hue. As the light changes throughout the day, it morphs from cheery blue in the afternoon to a soothing grey-green at night.” —Allison Smith and Anne Scott Shelley of Maison Studios in Inlet Beach, Florida; maisonstudios.com

“This is the paint color equivalent to crisp, white sheets. After a day in the sun, this pure white makes a bedroom feel cool and refreshing.” —Lacy Phillips of Lacy Phillips Designs in Pensacola, Florida; lacyphillips.com

Lattice by Sherwin-Williams

Teresa’s Green by Farrow and Ball

Credit: Courtesy of Manufacturer 

“I love this shade in an eggshell finish on walls, paired with Skiffey Blue (also by Farrow and Ball) in a high gloss on the base molding. It sets the tone for a dramatic, beachy room.” —Ashley Gilbreath of Ashley Gilbreath Interior Design in Montgomery, Alabama; ashleygilbreath.com

Silver Strand by Sherwin-Williams

Credit: Courtesy of Manufacturer 

“This is a chameleon of a color. Not really a true blue, green, or gray, but the perfect blend of all three colors. It conveys such a restful feeling in a bedroom!”— J. Banks Design Group of Hilton Head, South Carolina; jbanksdesign.com

Green Wave by Benjamin Moore

Credit: Courtesy of Manufacturer 

“My surf-loving daughter recently asked for a bedroom that felt like the inside of a wave. This pale blue-green beautifully captures the magical hue of the ocean. It’s also ideal with a ceiling painted in a high gloss finish to reflect the light.” —Cathy Austin of Catherine M. Austin Interior Design in Charlotte, North Carolina: catherinemaustin.com

Gray Tint by Benjamin Moore

Credit: Courtesy of Manufacturer 

“This is my go-to color for any beach bedroom, because it brings in the subtlest blue undertone. When you combine this with Simply White (also by Benjamin Moore) for a crisp white trim detail, you’ll be instantly enveloped in a beachy oasis.” —Kristin Peake Interiors of Rockville, Maryland; kristinpeakeinteriors.com

Par Four by Benjamin Moore

Credit: Courtesy of Manufacturer 

“Depending on the light, this color morphs into a blue or gray or green. It's soft, restful, and looks beautiful with crisp, white linens, worn wood furniture, and a seagrass rug.” —Julie Holloway of Milk and Honey Home in Atlanta, Georgia; milkandhoneyhome.com
