It's no secret that paint colors help set the mood of a space. Hues of blues tend to evoke tranquility while shades of yellows can make your home feel sunnier and more cheerful. To help living spaces feel pleasant and productive as we spend more time at home, Behr has created 21 new hues as part of its newly released Color Trends 2021 Palette. From warm-toned neutrals to bright, sunny colors, the palette is designed to bring "elevated comfort" into your home.

"This has been a year of unpredictability and 2020 has significantly changed our relationship with our home. When our color team began exploring a palette for the coming year, we knew it needed to be grounded in what we’ve been craving: comfort and personalization," Erika Woelfel, vice president of color at Behr, said in a press release. "A new, ‘elevated’ articulation of ‘comfort’ goes beyond traditional beige, gray and green hues, and embraces color in a way that can redefine and enhance any type of space inside or outside the home."

The Color Trends 2021 Palette is split into six color themes: Casual Comfort, Optimistic View, Subtle Focus, Calm Zone, Quiet Haven, and Outdoor Escape. Each theme is designed to evoke positivity, "and each color was chosen for how it complements other colors," according to the press release. You can mix and match colors from all of the themes to suit your distinct style.

To show how the palette can be used in real homes, Behr has teamed up with influencers for its "21 Days, 21 Colors, 21 Projects" program. During the next three weeks, the creative influencers will share DIY projects showcasing a color from the palette on social media using #21DaysOfColor. From entire room refreshes to small-scale updates, the projects will give you major inspo for your home.
