Best Light Aqua: Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt SW 6204

The Spruce

At first glance, Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt is so subtle it may appear more gray or neutral than aqua. But with rich colored accents, the green undertones in this light aqua paint really shine through. Perfect for nearly any room (we particularly like it in bedrooms, living spaces, and kitchens), this is a great color for those seeking a little more color without overpowering their space.

Best Soft Aqua: Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue HC-144

The Spruce

Palladian Blue is a soft, muted aqua with blue undertones that works beautifully in sunny living spaces and bathrooms. Bold and clean, Palladian Blue is the perfect blend of gray and a blue, and is a subtle way to add a little bit of pigment to a smaller space. Though we love bold colors in any size room, softer colors can lend a little personality without becoming too intense.

Best Green Aqua: Valspar Beach Blanket 6002-9B

The Spruce

Valspar Beach Blanket is a little greener than a typical aqua, but it shares the same fresh look. This is the aqua paint color to reach for if you're more of a "green person," but would still like to create a beach-inspired vibe. Beach Blanket is a warmer aqua than others, making it a great paint to pair with neutral beiges and yellows.

Best Dusty Aqua: Behr Marina Isle 480E-3

Marina Isle is a chalky soft aqua with green undertones. It's not an overly saturated color, but it pairs well with other muted tones, such as beige and olive green. We love it in living rooms big and small—pick bolder green accents to make this aqua paint really pop.
