What color would you use to sponge paint over a light blue to tone it down?

White would be your best bet, When I did one of our rooms instead of using a sponge, I used plastic grocery bags.


I painted my walls the main color (Which in your case is the Blue) Then you take your second color (White) and Paint it on the walls then you take the plastic bags (If any writing on the bags turn them inside out) and dab on the walls, this will remove some of the White paint but tone down your Blue.


I know this sounds like alot of work but if you have 2 people doing this you get done really fast. One person rolls the white on while you go behind them with the plastic bags while the paint is wet and remove as much off as you want.


Hope this helps you out.

Yes, i agree, white is not the BEST idea, but soemthing a little more subtle. Like a blue grey or beige.





Right now, blues and browns are in. They bring out other colors in a room. different shades of blues and browns simply just rock. It sets the mood to ambience.





Take time for a second, close your eyes and think of a beach.


Blue water, sand, the light blue sky maybe a little sunshine (use a very little light yellow in your room)





A light beige! That should make a great wall. A conversation piece!

Often a light shade of white is great to tone down blue. It then makes it appear a paler shade. Make sure you sponge fairly lightly as a heavy hand can ruin the effect.



i have to vote against white. it can often give you an unpleasant chalky effect. go with a blue gray that's on the light side but not too light
