Aegean Teal 2136-40 has been named Benjamin Moore’s color of the year for 2021, an intriguing blue-green that creates natural harmony and encourages reflection.

 

 

“Amid uncertainty, people yearn for stability. The colors we surround ourselves with can have a powerful impact on our emotions and wellbeing,” said Andrea Magno, Benjamin Moore’s director of color marketing and development. “Aegean Teal 2136-40 and the corresponding Color Trends 2021 palette express a welcoming, lived-in quality that celebrates the connections and real moments that take place within the home.”

A new year always signifies a fresh start, and now more than ever, we're crossing our fingers for happier times ahead. This year has certainly been about spending time at home. While we examine and reflect on our living spaces, perhaps with renewed perspective, the muted, earthen color palette that accompanies the sea-tinged pick provides an easy starting point to revitalize and reimagine where we live.
