These Benjamin Moore Aura paint colors come from the Affinity palette of 144 coordinated colors.

Schooner AF-520 - For the Cape Cod theme guest bedroom start with the grayish-blue Schooner. This Benjamin Moore paint color is the blue of Atlantic Ocean. It is grayed and cold-looking. This blue is slightly brighter than similar colors made by other manufacturers.

If you'd like a slightly bolder and darker color to use as an accent, consider the Benjamin Moore paint Wenge AF-180 is chocolate brown with the tiniest bit of mauvish-purple.

    I can decorate rooms but when it comes to wall colors I get in trouble. I have enjoyed reading so many of these articles with the wall colors on the side so I can get an idea of what coordinates. Thanks!
