AQUA~ It Starts with a Color Crayon

By,

AQUA is universally loved as a color. It's the color of the sea and the word, aqua,  is  Latin for water.  Many of us associate this  greenish-blue color with our coastal beaches and panoramic water views.  So it's only natural for us to feel comfortable with the color aqua in our homes! ​

Colors in the blue range are usually calming and soothing; they can be light and pale in tint and go deeper into a beautiful teal. AQUA is a bit different in that it can be soothing as well as vibrant!  It reminds us of the ocean and the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Mercer: "I have used a pale aqua in a client's home on the walls with a lovely creamy beige trim to open up a small room that was on the dark side of the house.  The cool soothing color completely changed the feeling of the room from one of a cramped small bedroom into a spacious home office.  Try some aqua in your home to freshen up your room!"
