The Dunn-Edwards Color of the Year for 2024 Will Transform Your Home Into a Calming Respite

Blue paint is having a moment—as evidenced by many major paint brands' trend predictions for the upcoming year. Among the companies that believe blue is having a resurgence in interior spaces is Dunn-Edwards, which just announced Skipping Stones—a serene and steely blue—as its 2024 color of the year.

The sea-inspired shade, which has hints of green and gray, offers a unique way to play with color while still holding on to the simplicity of a neutral. “Skipping Stones feels like a daydream and can add a sense of mystery and thoughtfulness to any space,” said DeMing Carpenter, color expert at Dunn Edwards. “It’s part of the resurgence of blue and represents a shift away from the bold, warm-toned colors we’ve seen gain popularity over the past few years. This blue is timeless and versatile, fresh, and serene.”

Skipping Stones will turn any room of your home into a calming respite. Whether you use it to cover all four walls in a bedroom or bathroom, or to add a pop of color to your front door or ceiling, Dunn-Edwards' 2024 color of the year gives homeowners endless versatility.

The on-trend hue is represented in the New Dawn color palette within the 2024 Color + Design Trends. The palette is made up of ethereal pastels, misted mid-tones with grounded earth shades, and glimmering sunshine-inspired colors. Should you choose to incorporate Skipping Stones in your home, you'll have a variety of complementary shades within the palette to pair the soothing blue color with.
