Blue is regarded as the colour most closely associated with confidence, dependability, and trust. It is also the colour closely tied in nature to blue skies overhead or the shimmering waters of rivers, lakes, and oceans. It is a colour that comes in many forms and along with it a variety of moods. For the month of April showers that blossom May’s many flowers, we are featuring After Rain, a clear peaceful blue brimming with carefree blue-sky happiness.
This cool hue is often found in bedrooms and bathrooms because of its cool, calming properties. Walls painted After Rain in a bedroom create a wonderful and soothing atmosphere in which to relax, sleep, and dream. In the morning when you awake, After Rain walls will help it seem like you’re starting the day on cloud nine.
Hazy pastels such as After Rain convey a calming effect in bath environments. Whether applied to bathroom walls or used as an accent, After Rain is a clear-day hue ideal for creating casual and relaxed settings.
