With this color, we invite our consumers to take a pause and infuse a new sense of ease and possibility into their spaces\u2014one that doesn\u2019t overwhelm, but rather establishes meditation and tranquility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blue is part of Palette No. 1 in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.builderonline.com\/design\/interior-finish\/sherwin-williams-2024-colormix-forecast-explores-4-trending-chromatic-families_o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\">Sherwin-Williams Colormix Forecast 2024<\/a>, Anthology: Volume One. Wadden recommends pairing the hue with blues and greens, deeps and darks, and delicate tints like Snowbound SW 7004, Drift of Mist SW 9166, Gale Force SW 7605, Tricorn Black SW 6528, Honeydew SW 6428, Palm Leaf SW 7735, and Antiquarian Brown SW 0045.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we play with color, it&#8217;s essential to consider their interactions thoughtfully,\u201d adds Wadden. \u201cWarmed-up blues might lead to hues that appear muddled and lackluster, which is why preserving the crisp edge and magnetic allure of cool blues is vital. It&#8217;s in these subtle nuances that create spaces that are timeless and inspired. We&#8217;re excited to share this beautiful color, and craft interiors that exude harmony and evoke a sense of enchantment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id='pressboard-ad-sponsorship-msg'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sherwin-Williams has selected Upward, a breezy and blissful shade of blue, as its 2024 Color of the Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":227876,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2023-09-20T19:18:04Z","apple_news_api_id":"976ed388-1c0e-4ad4-8146-2a952001010e","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2023-09-20T19:18:04Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Al27TiBwOStSBRiqVIAEBDg","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11115,11108],"tags":[11113,11371,11002],"coauthors":[10779],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sherwin-Williams releases Upward, its 2024 Color of the Year | Livabl<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sherwin-Williams has selected Upward, a breezy blue, as its 2024 Color of the Year.
