It’s TIME again! That time of year when paint companies all announce their Color of the Year for the upcoming year. Benjamin Moore, one of our go-to paint companies, released their announcement this week and the color is…Aegean Teal. FINALLY, a color of the year from Benjamin Moore that I can get excited about!

Benjamin Moore describes the color of the year this way…
“Take a moment to reflect and reset. Intriguing, balanced, and deeply soothing, the Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2021, Aegean Teal 2136-40, creates natural harmony.”
Not that other years have been bad, exactly…here’s where we have been
But I LOVE all things blue, green, and blue-green, the latter being the best of all worlds and evocative of the beautiful colors of the ocean, my happy place. After 10 years we have circled back to a beautiful complex blue-green.
