As mentioned by others here, buying sample-size paint and using poster board or 2x2 pieces of drywall to make your samples can be money well spent. The size of the samples you make and move around at different times of day will save you from an expensive mistake.
Another approach to think about is to find a picture with shades of blue and of a size to be a focal point in your room and work backwards from those blues.
art.com has a seemingly overwhelming choice of inexpensive prints that you can have mounted and framed. But you can filter by subject, style, and, if I am remembering correctly — color. (It’s been a while since I bought from them, but I have in the past and with success.) Also, you can look around locally for a picture you like. I have found stuff at Goodwill, including a signed print.
Have fun feathering your new nest.
