Snorkel Blue

As the temperatures start to soar quite drastically in the UK this week, our Colour Report is taking a cool twist to calm your racing pulses – introducing the coolest colour in Pantone’s 2016 collection, Snorkel Blue.

This deep and enigmatic shade of blue ignites a spark of electricity in any room, and is a cool and classic base colour that can be highlighted by a wonderfully quirky array of bright tones to fashion a huge variety of room design ideas. Snorkel Blue is a maritime-inspired shade of navy blue, with a real dash of optimism injected into the heart of the colour, and it is this optimism that gives Snorkel Blue its energy to stimulate and awaken any interior.

The name is relaxing and nostalgic, evoking memories of holidays in the sun, and encourages you to feel happy and energized. Thanks to Snorkel Blue, room inspiration has never been easier, as this is the perfect colour for creating a classic and cool decor, which also allows you to mix and match an eclectic range of shades.

Add to the classic ambience of your room with a striped fabric, such as Studio G’s Alba Mineral, which is just perfect for a set of curtains, especially when complemented by a Snorkel Blue roman blind.

The bold and bright shade of Buttercup will add an unbridled cheeriness to a home, while subtle infusions of the earthy foundation colour, Iced Coffee, will fashion a soft contrast to the bolder tones to achieve a harmonious balance of colours.

White floors also help to add a classically chic finish to a room, especially in a room with such a varied colour palette as this one, which will stop it from looking clinical.
