Calming and Energizing Paint Colors

April 1, 2020

Changing the color of your walls can not only make a big impact on the overall look and feel of your space, but it can also affect your mood. Color theory is at the core of most interior design education programs and speaks to how different colors have the ability to evoke feelings of happiness, calm, excitement and even hunger. This month we’re showcasing two beautiful paint color palettes, each curated to suit a specific mood.

The colors for our two palettes were chosen from KILZ Tribute® line of a paint, a premium acrylic paint with excellent hide that is durable, scrubbable and resistant to fading. With the start of the spring season signaling fresh beginnings and longer days, our first featured palette is all about bright, happy and energizing colors. Including a vibrant teal-blue, sunny orange and yellow, and a sweet-sangria red – this palette is all about happy hues that bring about a sense of vitality and energy.

Calming and Energizing Paint Colors

True Teal is a medium blue with a yellow undertone.

Jazz Age Yellow is a bright daisy yellow with a gold undertone.

BEHR’s Midori is a green pepper with a cheery granny smith apple undertone.

Haute Red is a deep red that evokes the color of a sweet red sangria in certain light. 

Bright Marigold is a tangerine with a ginger orange undertone.

Our second palette is a breath of fresh air – comprised of soft blues, subtle greens and graceful grays. These lighter hues can instantly soften a space and evoke feelings of peace and relaxation. Including slightly brighter light blues and greens, along with cool gray tones with the subtlest hints of purple or gray, this palette is instantly calming.

Pale Emerald is a light blue with a gray undertone that is reminiscent of a cool rain cloud.

Brushed Metal is a grayed light purple with a slight red undertone.

Tender Shoots is a mossy lime with a sage undertone, a perfectly relaxed green. 

Alaskan Mist is a white with a blue gray undertone, like a cool cloudy day.

Resful Retreat is a light green with a yellow undertone.

It’s easy to see that color choice can have a big impact not only on how your space looks, but how it feels too.
