For 2024, many paint selections are shades of blue — a tried and true hue that can be calming and rejuvenating and is always classic. Here are the 2024 paint colors of the year and where you can apply them in your home.

Benjamin Moore Blue Nova

Benjamin Moore

Blue Nova by Benjamin Moore is elevated hue that blends violet and blue. It’s a mid-tone blue that balances depth and intrigue with classic appeal.

Behr

Cracked Pepper by Behr will bring drama to any space. This inky charcoal hue can read as almost black. It's deep, moody, and can elevate any room, bringing instant sophistication.

Where to use Cracked Pepper: Cracked Pepper can act as a neutral, working well with soft textures, such as cozy wool rugs and boucle chairs, and can also align with an industrial design aesthetic.

Valspar

Renew Blue by Valspar is a peaceful green-blue color. It’s a versatile and all-season shade that is easy to envision in your space. Inspired by fleeting elements like fog, mist, clouds, and glacier lakes, Renew Blue elevates the everyday mood and evokes a feeling of balance and calm. Coupling this shade of blue with natural accents, such as jute, sisal, wicker, rattan, or light burl wood, can help create a lightened-up aesthetic. 

Where to use Renew Blue: This calming hue can be applied in any space where you crave less stress and more relaxation. Whether it’s a primary bathroom, bedroom, or office, this meditative shade of blue can encourage you to take a deep, restorative breath.
