Why It’s July’s Color of the Month

Have you seen July’s color of the month yet? If not, let us introduce you to Pool Party (DE5837). Summers are in full swing, and with the heat of the season, we’re ready to dive headfirst into some fabulous pool parties. Not to mention the fact that watery hues and deep blues continue to be strong key colors in 2019, according to Dunn-Edwards own color expert and stylist, Sara McLean. That’s why there’s no more perfect hue than Pool Party (DE5837) for July’s Color of the Month.

The Impact Of Blue Paint Colors

Did you know, in this digital age we live in that blue is the most clickable color? That’s according to a study conducted by Colorcom and Travel + Leisure. Why? Perhaps it’s because the color blue “elicits a high number of positive emotional responses,” stated McLean. “Including the feelings of relaxation and calmness, happiness, comfort, peace, and hope.” All of which goes to why choosing a brilliant blue paint color can be the right move for a variety of spaces. Pool Party is versatile, working with vibrant palettes as well as in spaces with a more neutral palette. Either way, the blue tones of Pool Party are sure to put a smile on your face.

Designing With Watery Blues

• For a summer celebration, you’ll want to bring your sunglasses to pair with Pool Party (DE5837), which has equally bright colors like Wasabi (DE5578) and Flamingo Feather (DE5037). Just add music!
• An effective way to balance out the above dose of the color is to use a mixture of natural wood tones when it comes to things like furniture, bookshelves, and other decor accents.
• Use Pool Party as an accent color alongside Riviera (DE5753) and Water Baby (DE5780) for a palette inspired by the Mediterranean's watery tones.
• Designing a modern yet youthful space? Pair the Pool Party with the Mojito (DE5603), Stately Stems (DE5712), December Sky (DE6352), and light, natural wood accents.
