Which PAINT COLOR can LOWER your BLOOD PRESSURE?

Did you know, BLUE brings down blood pressure and slows respiration and heart rate. That’s why it’s considered calming, relaxing, and serene, and is often recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms. Be careful, however: A pastel blue that looks pretty on the paint chip can come across as unpleasantly chilly when it’s on the walls and furnishings, especially in a room that receives little natural light. If you opt for a light blue as the primary color in a room, balance it with warm hues in the furnishings and fabrics.

Paint Color Trends for 2008 – Benjamin Moore

There are four categories of color trends this year from Benjamin Moore. Modern Tranquility,  Organic Comforts, Pure Opulence and Hot Colors for 2008.

Personally, I am drawn to the Mayflower Red, Misted Fern and Cork. Which would you choose?

 

You may or may not be this daring, but here are all three hot colors together

According to various sources, environmental and earth colors will continue to be popular paint color choices for homedecor and interior design in 2008. Popular color palettes will still include brown paints, green paints, and blue paints.

There is an “environmental” trend afoot, being propelled by global events including increased reports of global warming, water preservation, gas prices, an increase in the development of alternative energy sources, and manufacturing trend which is making more hybrid vehicles available to consumers. The environment is very much on our minds, and the colors that make up the environment are seeping into our interior home decor choices.

2008 Home Decor Paint Colors

2008 Home Decor Paint Color Palette: “Agrestic”

Forecast color palettes for 2008 home decor includes a contemporary take on rustic color and design. Look for deep, roasted browns, goldenrod yellows and energetic pinks, plus “tender greens,” like Mountain Sage from Behr paints.

Other colors that fit this 2008 color palette:

Estate Vineyard by Behr is a deep, burned red-infused brown.

Sunshine Yellow by Benjamin Moore is a bright yellow that fits with this 2008 paint palette.

2008 Home Decor Paint Color Palette: “Chinoiserie”

Any home decor inspired by “intricate patterns” and “elaborate decoration” that has been Chinese influences fits in this 2008 home decor color paint palette. This paint palette draws on mauves, and yellowish-greens, not the blue and white combination you may be picturing.

2008 Home Decor Paint Color Palette: “Ethnic Chic”

A global, international influence retains a tight hold on interiors in 2008. The internationally-inspired colors take the richness of Bollywood colors and tone them down slightly, with careful color complement selections.

For example, dark purples like Exotic Orchard by Behr continue to be popular, but are toned down somewhat when used with an earthy gray hue like Gray Mirage by Benjamin Moore.

Also think of pumpkin-infused color like Behr’s Spiced Pumpkin paired with a bright Toronto Blue paint by Benjamin Moore.

Color & Emotion

 Color and emotion cross a line when it comes to paint on your walls.

Red is warm, bold, stirring, and energetic. In its pure form it can increase heart rate and raise body temperature. Use red in rooms where activity occurs, like a family room, or where sleeping and resting is not a priority. For a deep, instense setting, use other colors sparingly in a red room. The eye is drawn to red, so it also makes an eye-catching accent color. 

Yellow and Orange are just as exciting as red, but they are more cheerful than bold, more bright than stimulating. Yellow and orange warm and enliven any room where they are used, but work especially well to brighten dark rooms. On large surfaces they are best used in light values. 

Blue, the color of sky and water, creates fresh, cool, and restful feelings. Blue walls can make a south- or west-facing room feel cooler. Because it “recedes,” blue also creates the illustion of space and distance, conjuring up emotions of haughtiness, formality, reserve, and sadness. In spite of evoking such contradictory reactions, blue is a favorite because it is easy on the eyes and the nerves, making it an excellent choice for rooms where you want to relax or sleep. 

Green is the dominant color in nature. It is a pleasing, organic, fresh, calming, and restful color. It is a great color for any room where you want a relaxed and fresh atmosphere. 

Purple is lush, regal, and passionate. It is an intense and highly emotional color, partly because it straddles the line between the warm red and cool blue. This makes it a difficult color to use in interior design, and it is usually confined to the role of an accent.

Black and White are pure contrasts and intensifiers — light and dark, yin and yang, all or nothing. Dramatic and elegant together, they lend sophistication in decor that is stylish and urban.
