Bellbottom Blues: Searching for a BLUE for Boy Bedroom...

I am currently re-designing my kids' bedrooms as part of a home renovation, and although I would have loved a faux wood wallpaper look, as mentioned in my prior post, the weird angled walls and higher-than-anticipated estimates are pointing me in the direction of paint. Incidentally, I asked my son, Charlie, what color he would like for his walls, and although he has always been a green guy, he unequivocally declared BLUE. It is a bit tricky because my other son, Jack, will have a faux denim finish in the neighboring bedroom, so I would like them to look somewhat different. BUT, I really do gravitate toward the indigo/denim hues as they are warm and cozy, while also reading as a neutral backdrop. I have selected a few grey-blue hues as they are nice and soothing for a bedroom. However, with our often dreary Cleveland climate, I have also selected some more energizing/bold medium blues. The search is on!
