This paint color is perfect for use as accent cabinets in the kitchen or bathroom. You could even use this color on the walls if you prefer to keep your cabinets a more neutral color instead.

For those who love to embrace color and make a bold statement in their home, use Blue Nova as the feature wall paint color and pair it with neutrals for the rest of the space. This will allow you to add color to your home without being too committed (only one wall).

Use Blue Nova with other shades of blue, and neutrals to create a timeless and classic interior! You can also use browns, beige, and yellow to create a fun-filled space.
