blue overkill? need advice!?
When it comes to collecting blue cobalt glassware, value very is in the eyes of the viewer. It is not possible to tell what a specific individual is going to fall in love with. Equally challenging is creating any piece of art which is able to appeal to everyone. Regardless of how celebrated the master, there are some people who will not like or recognize the value of his ability. On the other hand, there are pieces that become collectible as well as precious, at least to you, merely because you get pleasure from having them viewing them.
i am painting my kitchen a light ice blue.. kinda gray but more on the blue side.. all of my bakeware is a cobalt blue glass... i need to know what color would look good in a backsplash?? i was looking at cobalt blue.. but then thought WOW that's a lot of blue.. so any ideas?? the cobalt blue bake-ware i already own.. i can go a different color on the walls and then use the blue back splashh but what color?
So the paint and the back splashh aren'tt set in stone.. but i want something that goes with the cobalt blue??
Thanks in advance!
thanks so far.. but the color i am using on the wall ( well the one i want to use) is a really pale blue.. so white might blend in .

If you are just beginning your collection of cobalt blue glassware, or adding items of a particular period or artist, be sure and browse the net. It is a great place to deepen your knowledge. You will also hit upon some terrific bargains. But browse astutely and savour your passion of collecting period glassware. Remember, it is not what someone else thinks a piece is worth, it is the pleasure it brings to you personally that makes cobalt blue glassware worth acquiring.
mm… thats tough. You could do a complimentary color (yellow) which would create a really WILD kitchen. but if done right it could be very chic and unique. My suggestion to you would be to do a white backsplash: it will help to lighten up your kitchen, and really make all that cobalt "pop" (cobalt is really pretty isnt it?) I know that white isnt ideal- but if you get a glossy paint it will still be a breeze to clean. Some people tile in their back splash areas which is a nice look that you can even incorporate cobalt tile into to tie your colors together. check these out.

Some white accents sounds like they would go well.
Maybe you could try some different pastels, too?
White with cobalt blue splattered?
Not white…I would do a very light taupe or brownish tan!
I think that an soft warm orange or fust color tile would look awesome. It would really make everything pop. Orange is blues complimetary color.
He’s right with the brown. It looks very rich….
Ooo did you look at a color wheel? http://kingfish.coastal.edu/marine/Animations/Images/Color-Wheel.png
you could go with the brown, like a chocolate brown, or maybe a green, it all depends on what kind of a look you’re going for. a bright green will pop against the cobalt.
