Best Accent Colors for Navy Kitchen Cabinets

First, you need to make sure you’re selecting the right color blue for your intended design. Do you want a deep and moody blue that looks great with brass accents? Or would you prefer a velvety, soft blue that is crisp against white walls and a white and gray marble countertop?
