Ok, so my roof tile is "National Blue" [View all]

https://www.iko.com/na/products/residential/roofing-shingles/architectural/cambridge/

and I got some paint for the shutters, which I *thought* looked like dark blue, but more resembles the blue recycling cans. I am trying to get my house painted by Fall...and having the shutters done and ready seems like an easy enough DIY project. But after four shades of playing around, and mixing, and remixing, and friends saying they like it as it is (and I don't) I am beyond stressed over it.

I cannot obsess over blue anymore!! LOL. Do any of you have any suggestions? I'm ready for them to be polka dotted and plaid at this point.

I wanted something stately and classy because my house is a two dormered cape cod. It will be painted off white from the white that it is now.

ANY suggestion from ANY line would be greatly appreciated. i am open for suggestions.

edit: to make this make more sense. It's been a long few days.
