PPG COTY 2015 Blue Paisley | KitchAnn StyleOne of the major color transitions in interiors has been a shift towards blue. So it’s not too surprising PPG Pittsburgh Paints named Blue Paisley as its 2015 Color of the Year.

Paisley Blue (PPG-1238-6) is a vibrant color with bold, inky undertones. It is enthusiastically positive and represents where design is headed in the coming year.

Homeowners will appreciate the reliability of this blue and incorporate it into their decor to positively influence their lives.
