Yankee Blue is actually one of the very first Dixie Belle colors I ever used when I paired it with Drop Cloth on this stool. This one is the lightest shade of these four colors, and has a bit more grey to it than the other three which becomes more obvious when you look at them all side by side. I haven’t used so much of the Yankee Blue. Well, to be perfectly honest, I only mixed them because I didn’t have enough Bunker Hill Blue at the time to paint the whole dresser so I stretched it by adding In the Navy. I’ve also been known to mix In the Navy with Bunker Hill Blue to tone down the Bunker Hill Blue just a tad, or brighten up the In the Navy, whichever way you want to look at it. It looks gorgeous paired with gold hardware. I really like this shade on mid-mod pieces such as this dresser that was a curb-side find. Lately I’ve been using more of the next darkest shade, Bunker Hill Blue, most recently on this dresser. I also painted a waterfall style desk with In the Navy. One of my all-time favorite pieces painted in this color was this linen press dresser. I used quite a bit of this one for a while. This color is almost, but not quite, black. Just in case you are struggling to pick one. I’ve been using a few of them lately, so I thought it might be helpful to show you guys a comparison of their In the Navy, Bunker Hill Blue, Yankee Blue and Cobalt Blue. Although now that I think about it, I probably listened to them on cassette tapes in my car more than on albums.Īnyway, today’s post isn’t about music, it’s about the moodier shades of blue available from Dixie Belle Paint Co (and be sure to read to the end because I’m giving some away). Oh boy, I’m probably really dating myself now. You know, back when we had record players and albums. I wonder how many of you are old enough to be Moody Blues fans, or to have played their albums over and over.
