Color of the Year and an Awesome Photo

Benjamin Moore has announced their 2012 pick for color of the year...it's Wythe Blue (HC-143)
I adore this color.  It's such a beautiful, calming hue.  I would love this color in my dining room (stop back next week when I reveal my home goals for 2012...this is up on my list).
How about you - are you loving this color as much as me?
On a separate note...this photo was taken by my friend while she was on vacation on her iphone!!  The photo was taken in Boca Raton, Florida at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. 
Isn't this the most awesome photo?  

Make sure you stop back tomorrow.  I have a very special giveaway planned.
You won't want to miss it!!

  3. I do love this color. And I love the. Color of the mad men house! But I feel like its richer and more teal in their home, but I could be wrong. And I usually don't really like painted molding but it looks really nice in this room!

  9. That is a really pretty blue, Judy. I should probably put what I want to get to in 2012 to paper instead of relying on it being in my head. We don't have much, but there are a few things I'd like to get done.

  10. Ha! I live a stones throw from Boca and the Morikami!

    All the 'colors of the year' are starting to come out. It will be interesting if there is congruence. Ya know?

  12. It looks very much like the color of my Thomas O'Brien coverlet I have in my bedroom (Target)! First, I really loved the pattern, because it looked a Celtic pattern to me, but I do find it a very difficult color to match or coordinate with, so I just go with black! I'm very happy to hear, though, that it's such a popular color now!! I guess I was onto it long before I even realized! (0; Best wishes to you for a blessed and very Happy New Year! ~tina

  13. I like this blue. I was going to do blue in my dining room but chickened out at the last minute.

  14. I adore this soft blue. It gives the classic feel of white and still incorporates color without feeling overwhelming.

  19. Judy - I pinned the heron (egret?) on pintrest, making sure it tracked back to your blog. Would your friend consider letting me print a copy for my own use? I promise not to use it commercially.
