Another Color of the Year

 

 Benjamin Moore’s 2012  Color of the Year  is Wythe Blue (HC-143)    They describe it as   “a beautiful, calming hue that has an element of heritage that offers grounding rootedness, providing comfort and stability”   (Side note:  what is grounding rootedness?   I digress.)

It’s actually a color already in their Historic Collection.   A blue green hue with a cool gray cast to it .  Blue is a classic color, reminding us of the sea and sky,  has  universal appeal  usually rates high as a color favorite.  I find  this hue to be 
soothing and restful.



Along with Wythe Blue, they created a color palette to compliment it, including Sharkskin.  The palette is called appropriately called  Earth and Sky.

Sharkskin  2139-30

Below is a dining room treated to two different  looks, each

The company created  a collection of four separate 
color trend palettes for 2012.
