Color of the Year 2024

Liz Lidgett • September 20, 2023

As announced by Sherwin Williams, Upward SW 6239—it'z breezy blue, and I love it.

I’m probably one of the few people who gets excited about the color of the year when it’s announced … it comes with the job. Sherwin Williams just shared the winner— Upward SW 6239! A “breezy, blissful blue” with an invitation to slow down, take a breath and allow the mind to clear. Well, I like that. And so do many of our artists. Here’s a few beauties at the gallery currently singing the breezy blue Upward color song.
