One 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.
Blue Paisley looks terrific as an accent wall and can be balanced with neutral gray.
Combine a playful mix of hues and Blue Paisley feels more bohemian.
As the trend for warm alloys continues, expect to see other materials becoming richer and more luxurious in color and feel.
Blue Paisley is perfectly at home in a Coastal Interior. Small vessels are great way to add an accent color without making an expensive change in your home.
Blue Paisley is dramatic and will be noticed wherever you put it.
World travel will influence interiors in 2015 and Blue Paisley pairs exceptionally well with colors you’d expect to see at a Souk in Morocco.
As we approach Summer 2015, expect to see Blue Paisley follow the fashion industry and be paired with vibrant coral hues.
