Into the Blue

Blue continues to be a strong trend for SS17. It can be seen as the designer’s statement colour from the catwalks, to home interiors and gardens. Particularly popular is a vivid lapis blue (Royal Somerset Blue, Wood Stain & Protector Cornflower) as is a more muted powdery pastel shade (Royal Eggshell Blue and Ice Blue). Through time artists such as Giotto, Cezanne, Renoir, Picasso and especially Matisse have been beguiled by this colour and it is used in their most memorable masterpieces. In creating atmosphere in a home or garden heavenly blue offers peace serenity and a promise of warm Mediterranean days.
