Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year: Wythe Blue!

It has universal appeal, never goes out of style, and is overwhelmingly chosen as a color favorite across North America. It evokes the sea and sky, physically calms us, and symbolizes trust and commitment. Because of the influence that blue has in our world today, we have chosen Wythe Blue (HC-143) as Benjamin Moore's 2012 Color of the Year. It's a beautiful, calming hue that has an element of heritage and offers grounding rootedness, providing comfort and stability. Lets hear it for Wythe Blue! I've long loved the color (see my other post here) and I know that a lot of you have used it (and love it!) in your own homes, so I was excited to read the news from the paint experts over at Hirshfield's Color Club. They shared the 2012 trend colors in a bunch of great room sets...it's crazy how much paint can change the look of a room! Needless to say, I couldn't agree more with Benjamin Moore's choice for Color of the Year. I am also loving their inspiring Earth & Sky color palette that incorporates the color so beautifully!

Don't you agree??? So beautiful and calming.. normal, I'd say! No craziness, no shockingness... just fabulous! I hope you doing great, Erin! Is your work done around your house? Have a great day! xo Luciane at HomeBunch.com OCTOBER 18, 2011 8:25 AM Sarah (Mrs. Ruffled Flats) said... YAY! I LOVE that color! So beautiful. I love how different it can look with different lighting, as well. If I could paint my apartment, this would probably end up in a room. OCTOBER 18, 2011 8:33 AM Between Blue and Yellow said... Great color! I painted my door a similar color, with paints I mixed myself. http://btweenblueandyellow.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-front-door.html OCTOBER 18, 2011 8:46 AM Haute Indoor Couture said... My old bedroom was Wythe blue! I love that color. Wythe Blue and Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue are my all time favs. OCTOBER 18, 2011 9:18 AM Karena said... Erin I adore this color!! Wyeth Blue,just the name is beautiful. A most versatile color. xoxo Karena Art by Karena OCTOBER 18, 2011 9:18 AM Erin @ The Impatient Gardener said... I've been looking for a reason to paint SOMETHING this color for a long time and the photo you posted (and I think I repinned it from you last week on pinterest) of the living room with the orange accents convinced me exactly what to do with it. It's going in our back room, above the wainscotting. Can't wait for a snowy day in winter to do it! OCTOBER 18, 2011 9:45 AM Rene said... What an honor to see my front door on one of my favorite blogs! Thank you! -Rene OCTOBER 18, 2011 9:47 AM Belle said... Very chic color! It's fresh, gives u cozy feeling and most all makes the whole room lovely! Check out also 3D Rendering OCTOBER 18, 2011 9:53 AM Pat said... I painted my guest room and bath Wythe blue. The rest of the main areas of the house are painted in Quiet Moments. Because I have such an open floorplan this worked well and because it is lighter it is a great shade with our Ohio winters.

I have always loved this color (painted a dining room Wythe Blue, to great effect) - I just 'picked' a corner shelving unit and am planning to paint it in eggshell WB Those images are gorgeous, showing the nuanced versatility of this lovely color. Thanks for sharing. Hope you're feeling better? xoA OCTOBER 18, 2011 10:43 AM Chrissa said... I love them all. But I love nothing more than Cristi's house. It's my dream home.
