Each company referenced a need for coming back to nature as one of the key reasons for selecting their color of the year. **Here’s a look at the 2020 Colors of the Year.** Sherwin Williams selected Naval, a nautical, rich blue, like the deep sea or a clear night’s sky.  This hue is said to bring a sense of calmness, grounding and even confidence to those in its presence.  Consider using Naval for an accent wall in your home office, living room, or even for a vanity or kitchen cabinets. ![sherwin-williams-kitchen-naval-SW-6244](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sherwin-williams-kitchen-naval-SW-6244.jpg?width=1200&name=sherwin-williams-kitchen-naval-SW-6244.jpg) *photo by Sherwin Williams* PPG ‘s Chinese Porcelain is a combination of cobalt and ink blue and offers the perfect backdrop for other colors to pop - from crisp whites to metallic finishes.  This shade of blue is said to envoke serenity and hopefulness and reminds of us the sky and the sea. Chinese Porcelain would be beautiful in a bedroom or bathroom. ![room-living-room_chinese-porcelain__ppg1160-6](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/hs-fs/hubfs/room-living-room_chinese-porcelain__ppg1160-6.jpg?width=500&name=room-living-room_chinese-porcelain__ppg1160-6.jpg)*photo by PPG* Taking a departure from the blue trend, Behr selected Back to Nature as their Color of the Year. This pale, mossy, sage green brings a sense of the outdoors to your interiors and creates a calm and balanced environment.  Consider painting a bathroom, bedroom, or office with Back to Nature. ![coty_wide2](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/hs-fs/hubfs/coty_wide2.jpg?width=1960&name=coty_wide2.jpg) *photo by Behr*       Topics: [Featured](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/topic/featured), [color trends](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/topic/color-trends), [paint colors](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/topic/paint-colors) [** Previous article](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-hoas-and-remodeling) [** Back to all articles](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog) [Next article **](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/our-guide-to-selecting-a-freestanding-tub) Blog Subscription ### Subscribe to the Blog for the latest news ### Recent Articles 08.21.23 ### [Thompson's Fall Home Maintenance Checklist](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/thompsons-fall-home-maintenance-checklist) 04.28.23 ### [The Case for a Single Sink Primary Bathroom](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/the-case-for-single-sink-master-bathroom) 03.31.23 ### [Thompson Remodeling’s Outdoor Space Remodeling Resources](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/thompson-remodelings-outdoor-space-remodeling-resources) 03.17.23 ### [Thompson Remodeling's Spring Home Maintenance Tips](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/thompsons-spring-home-maintenance-tips) 02.22.23 ### [Five of Our Favorite New Kitchen Appliances](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog/five-of-our-favorite-new-kitchen-appliances) ### Popular Tags All** [All ](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/blog?)
