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.

Paint Your Home with Coastal Colors: Watery blues

Beach homes can bloom in any color, but one of the fastest and least expensive ways to achieve that coastal look in your home or beach home is to paint with a color palette that reflects the beach. Blues and blue-greens are very popular because they are safe, calm, pleasant colors, but even this spectrum has a lot of variety.



You can celebrate blue outright ...
