A recent survey was commissioned by paper manufacturers G. F. Smith. It asked 26,000+ people from more than 100 countries the question what the most relaxing color in the world is. The reply was dark blue. To get the look, check out some of the blue Boysen paint colors.
The survey showed that if you combine dark blue, turquoise and pink, you will achieve calmness.. Above are the swatches of the different blue Boysen paint colors.

Stress Levels
Another survey from Britain’s Mental Health Foundation showed that “nearly three quarters of Britons have felt overwhelmed by stress in the last year”.
In the US, a survey carried out by the American Psychological Association has found that the youngest members of society, from millennials to Gen Xers to Gen Zs, experience the most stress. “More than 6 in 10 Americans (62 percent) reported that the current political climate is a significant stressor, and more than two-thirds (69 percent) reported that the nation’s future causes them stress.”
As for the Philippines, there is an increase in mental illnesses in our young people. Sadly, I have seen this firsthand with children of friends of mine. There are no available statistics but this should be an indication of what is going on in the country.

The Boysen Blues
If G.F. Smith’s recent survey about the most relaxing color in the world is right, then why not give this a chance, right? Paint is also a very cost-effective way to achieve maximum impact in a space. Help yourself and those you love to have a relaxing ambience at home.
