Aegean Teal is a perfect combination of soothing blue and lively green, with a gray undertone to keep it feeling contemporary Hannah Yeo, color marketing and development manager at Benjamin Moore, calls it “an intriguing blue-green that creates natural harmony and invites us to take a moment to reflect and reset.” Sounds like just what we need this year.

Just like last year, Valspar didn’t limit themselves to just one color for 2021, but selected a whole palette of comforting, muted colors. Varying in tone from Blissful Blue to Cherry Taupe, the hues were chosen to feel cozy and comfortable. “Our homes have become offices, entertainment centers, and classrooms, which means the colors, sights, and sounds in our rooms have an even bigger impact on our daily lives,” says Valspar color marketing manager Sue Kim. Increased time at home in 2020 saw a surge of home improvement projects and an increased interest in how our surroundings make us feel. Valspar’s 2021 colors aim to help you feel serene and tranquil.

Urbane Bronze is a warm shade of gray-brown meant to answer our current desire for stability. “The home is now the ultimate retreat from the world, and color is an easy and effective way to create a personal haven,” said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. Urbane Bronze is a dark, natural color that is reminiscent of burnished metal or stone, giving it a timeless look and feel.
