Blue, the New Black

Blue, the color that evokes calmness comes in many shades and has many names.  Lately, deep blues such as indigo, cobalt and navy have been making quite an appearance.  These deeper shades of blue add a look of sophistication and can be paired with any color. It offers a nice alternative to using black as a grounding color. Big retailers have taken note and are offering stock items in these rich blues, as we have seen with West Elm’s beautiful Everett Chair.
