Benjamin Moore Morning Sky Blue is the topic for today.
I’ve been focusing so much on neutrals and white paints lately, it’s time for a change…
The walls in this room are painted Edgecomb Gray by Benjamin Moore.

I’m SO glad you guys are finding these real life examples of our own interior wall paint colors helpful.
I got some really postive feedback on my recent post on Benjamin Moore’s Sea Salt.
So today, I’m featuring another color we’ve used again and again in our homes…Benjamin Moore’s Morning Sky Blue.
If you’re looking for a pale blue paint color with cool, relaxing undertones, this could be the one!
I like to think of blue, especially pale blue almost as a neutral.
It works with so many different colors.

This is from our former home’s living room in New York.
As you can see from these images, we tend to use this lovely blue color a lot on our ceilings.
I’m a big fan of painting the ceiling light blue.
It’s a great way to add a hint of color and dimension to any space.
If you’re not familiar with the term “haint blue” or “haint ceiling” – you can read more about this southern tradition here.
And, you can also read more about my ceiling paint color picks here.
This is the living room in our current home here in Connecticut. Wall paint is Benjamin Moore Cape Hatteras Sand.
Benjamin Moore Morning Sky Blue looks great on exteriors too!
Our former home in New York had a beautiful back porch which we added a few years after we moved in.
It was one of my favorite features of our home.
Of course we had the ceilings of this porch painted in Benjamin Moore’s Morning Sky Blue, having already fallen in love with this paint color choice in our living room.
You can see more of our former back porch here.
Eventually we painted the small ceiling above our front entrance porch with Benjamin Moore Morning Sky Blue as well!
A testament to our affinity for both the color and the tradition.

Conclusion
Ultimately you need to love the paint colors you choose for your home.
Which is why I can’t recommend trying it out as a sample in your space first.
Perhaps this is so obvious, but even the surrounding light from one room to another can differ and therefore change the look of any color.
Live with a few samples for a few days before making your final decision.
Be sure to test the color in natural and artificial light too!
Also, another great way to test out a paint color is to get large self sticking paint samples.
This sounds so great!
No messy paint cans to deal with before you commit! Win/win!
If you’re at all curious, you can find them here and try it out as a sample in your home first!
Hopefully, you found this post helpful.

Even better, send me a photo – I’d love to see it.
Benjamin Moore Morning Sky Blue is also known as 2053-70.
According to my local hardware store, it’s a popular blue color which is part of Benjamin Moore’s Color Preview series.
While I was there, I also asked which brushes and rollers they’d recommend if you’re doing this paint job yourself.
This set, which has everything you need in it, was the one he suggested.
I’m sure you can pick up something similar where you buy your paint.
