Grand Rapids, MI (WOTV) -  “Color needs to reflect our mood, desires and state of mind. This fresh, true blue can be as energizing as it can be soothing. It's just the right hue for moving forward." says CMG’s President, Mark Woodman of Global Color Research Limited.

And with the holidays coming up, using an exciting  blue color somewhere in your decorating scheme could be a lot of fun and would certainly be unexpected! 

For many years, blue has been the favorite color of many Americans.  Blue is a stable, comfortable, and a well liked color that is always present in a color palette. Global/environmental issues regarding water and the political atmosphere are driving factors in the movement.

Warmer, tropical, blues with a touch of green dominate the movement. Blues are regarded as relaxing and calming, but when not careful with tone, they can become depressive and distant. Now people want warmer more aqueous blues. Blue is popular across ages and demographic ‐ it is a reliable color. Our best color friend.  

“RE” plays on several key lifestyle trends: REcycling, REnew, REmember, REwind, REcalibrate, REmodel, REward and is REliable. RE‐BLUED works well with all colors of the palette; from warm and cool. Blue is embraceable. As we move away from denim and indigo influences, this mid range blue takes over as the
new desire. Its reliable nature comes from its ability to bridge generations, products and finishes.  .
