Time to pick a colour for the nursery or for your big kid’s new room? Look up for inspiration. Light blue is the 2010 colour of the year, according to CIL Paints.
“The colours of the coming year are all about freedom and happiness,” says Jennifer Jones, marketing communications manager for the paint company. Shades of blue, in particular, “are refreshing, soothing and liberating, promoting a feeling of breeziness, renewed energy and infinite horizons.”
CIL’s favourite shade is Siesta Key MC30, an airy blue that’s reminiscent of clear skies ahead. Other top colours for 2010 include the banana yellow Newborn CP17 and the playful orange Energize It CP14.
