This year’s Color of the Year is Aegean Teal, an intriguing and soothing light blue. In other words, it’s the perfect color to bring into your home at the beginning of a new year full of opportunity for fresh starts.

It’s easy to picture this color incorporated into your kitchen, maybe adding a pop of color to your cabinets.

Or perhaps you’re imagining it in your bedroom, adding some serious comfort to the space. Because of the natural harmony of this color, you can also it with patterned sheets or bold rugs without feeling overwhelmed. You can also consider using Aegean Teal as an exterior paint color. The options are endless.

While this color is definitely “trending” right now, there’s no indication that it’ll be looking tired anytime soon.

Benjamin Moore describes this color as a celebration of “the simple pleasures”, like clean sheets, freshly baked bread, and a warm, sunny morning. It’s a nice alternative to other versatile colors like grey or white, and feels a little more inviting, while still not overwhelming the senses.
