Behr: Blueprint S470-5
Why it’s hot: People naturally gravitate toward blue, and this shade is midrange and commands attention but isn’t overwhelming, she explains.
Where to use it: In the bedroom for an accent wall—blue has a calming effect—in the kitchen, in bathrooms. Another option? Paint a coffee table or bench this color to reimagine a space in a less dramatic way.

PPG Diamond: Night Watch PPG 1145-7
Why it’s hot: It reflects our craving for a connection with nature, Schlotter says.
Where to use it: In a dining area or on an accent wall in a bedroom. Because it conjures nature, this green is helpful in areas that don’t have views of the outdoors.
