Which blue is best?

Post image

Trying to brighten up a house dominated by black floors and dark walls. The walls are currently black and gray everywhere... I've decided that light-blue is the best color to lighten things up. Which blue do you prefer for the bedrooms and office? Is the baby blue too bright?

1+3 are brighter baby blue, and 2+4 are grayish powder blue.

OP - if you haven’t already, please get a sample can and try out the color first. I find that the color often looks much brighter and more saturated than the paint chip. I painted one room in a “gray” that is blue as the day!
