Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2014

Benjamin Moore announced its 2014 Color of the Year: Breath of Fresh Air. It is, in a phrase, the color of the ocean.

The ocean never goes out of style on your walls, in your clothes, and in your home decor. Here are some rooms that have used a color that evokes the same feeling as Breath of Fresh Air. Smell the salty air and listen for the seagulls.
