Color plays a pivotal role in shaping the ambiance and mood of a space. One color that has stood the test of time and consistently finds its way into homes across the globe are the tranquil and versatile shades of blue.
Beyond the science of color, personal preferences play a significant role in the popularity of blue in interior design. Many individuals find comfort in the familiarity of blue hues, which are often associated with stability and reliability. The wide range of shades, from soft baby blues to deep navy, allows for versatility in design, catering to diverse tastes and preferences.
Color of the Year 2024
Each year, major paint companies announce their “Color of the Year,” a shade that reflects current trends, cultural influences, and design preferences. The recurrent selection of blue underscores its timeless and adaptable nature.
And in 2024 blue has received the nod from Benjamin Moore for Blue Nova 825, Sherwin Williams for Upward SW 6239, Valspar for Renew Blue, Krylon for Bluebird, Dunn Edwards for Skipping Stones, C2 for Thermal, and Minwax for Bay Blue.
Whether it’s deep indigo or a refreshing sky blue, the Color of the Year designation often propels blue into the forefront of design consciousness, inspiring homeowners and designers alike to incorporate this hue into their interiors.
