Introducing Upward, a breezy, blissful blue. It’s the color found when we slow down, take a breath, and allow the mind to clear.

Think of it as a sunny day shade for spaces brimming with positive energy, creative thinking, and total contentment.

Upward (SW 6239) is a Relaxed and Carefree Color

Sherwin-Williams presents its 2024 Color of the Year Upward SW 6239, a breezy and blissful shade of blue that evokes the ever-present sense of peace found when slowing down, taking a breath, and allowing the mind to clear.

With this color, we invite our consumers to take a pause and infuse a new sense of ease and possibility into their spaces – one that doesn’t overwhelm, but rather establishes meditation and tranquility.”

Upward is beautifully calming for all your living spaces.

Relax where it counts, with Sherwin-Williams' Upward setting the tone of the bedroom.

“As we play with color, it’s essential to consider their interactions thoughtfully,” adds Wadden. “Warmed-up blues might lead to hues that appear muddled and lackluster, which is why preserving the crisp edge and magnetic allure of cool blues is vital. It’s these subtle nuances that create spaces that are timeless and inspired. We’re excited to share this beautiful color and, craft interiors that exude harmony and evoke a sense of enchantment.”

Upward is a Hue that Brings Clarity to Communal Spaces

Use the transitional blue of Upward SW 6239 (224-C1) to inspire meditative spaces and absolute peace in both residential and commercial settings. From classic coastal to casual Nordic styles, the airy-hued beauty of Upward SW 6239 (224-C1) dwells where the fairest-weather blue finds just a hint of silver lining.

“Used as an accent or all over, on both interiors and exteriors, Upward SW 6239 (224-C1) clears the way for lightweight open-mindedness when used in commercial settings,” says Wadden. “The hue serves as a reminder to pause and ponder limitless possibilities that can be unlocked in our work, dining, educational spaces, and beyond.”

Upward pairs well with these colors.
