Breath of Fresh Air
Benjamin Moore Paints earlier this month released its highly anticipated 'Color of the Year 2014' as part of its Color Trends 2014 palette. The big winner is #806 Breath of Fresh Air, which is the first color shown below! It can be paired with other colors to create a warmer or cooler expression.
Benjamin Moore's creative director Ellen O'Neill said "We chose Breath of Fresh Air because we were seeing it across several different environments - it's our new neutral. " She also added, "We know that color is the ultimate form of personal expression, so we curated this collection to help consumers create beautiful spaces with confidence."
They also noted these other shades of blues as personal options for the home.
The color blue and noted trends were seen all throughout
High Point Market.
