Dare to Be Different: Dive into Frank Blue (SW 6967), Sherwin-Williams’ Vibrant March Color!

Hello, color lovers, and welcome back to Torlando on Color!

This month, we’re diving headfirst into a hue that’s anything but shy. Say hello to Frank Blue (SW 6967), Sherwin-Williams’ electrifying choice for the March 2025 Color of the Month! If you’ve been craving a color that truly makes a statement and celebrates individuality, Frank Blue might just be your perfect match.

Sherwin-Williams describes it perfectly: Frank Blue is a “dynamic cobalt that celebrates your desire to be different.” This isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill blue. It’s bold, it’s vibrant, and it carries an energy that can completely transform a space. Think deep, confident, and unapologetically present. It’s got that mood-boosting vibrancy that can inject life and personality wherever it goes.

Making an Entrance: Where to Use Frank Blue

So, how do you bring this eclectic hue into your home without overwhelming the senses? Frank Blue is surprisingly versatile, despite its intensity.

• Create a Focal Point: As Sherwin-Williams suggests, this color is made for turning features into focal points. Consider it for:
• Cabinetry: Imagine kitchen lowers, an island, or bathroom vanities drenched in this stunning cobalt. It instantly elevates the design.
• Built-ins & Architectural Details: Highlight bookshelves, fireplace surrounds, or interesting structural elements. Frank Blue draws the eye and adds character.
• Accent Walls: A classic choice for a bold color. Use it in a living room behind a neutral sofa, at the end of a hallway, or in a bedroom to create drama.
• Doors: Why not greet guests with a pop of Frank Blue on your front door, or use it on interior doors for an unexpected twist?

• Energize Open Concepts: In large, open spaces, Frank Blue can work wonders. Use it strategically on a key wall or feature to “fill negative space with mood-boosting vibrancy,” defining zones and adding depth without closing things off.

• Smaller Doses: If you’re hesitant about going all-in, introduce Frank Blue through furniture (a painted dresser, accent chairs) or decor (pillows, vases, artwork).

Pairing Possibilities

Frank Blue loves to be the star, but it also plays well with others:

• Crisp Whites & Cool Neutrals: Create a clean, modern, almost nautical feel by pairing it with bright whites or soft, cool grays.
• Warm Woods & Metallics: The warmth of natural wood tones provides a beautiful grounding contrast to Frank Blue’s coolness. Brass or gold accents add a touch of sophisticated glamour.
• Earthy Tones: Think warm grays, beiges, or even muted terracotta shades for a more grounded, eclectic look.
• Bold Contrasts (For the Daring!): For a truly high-energy, maximalist vibe, consider pairing Frank Blue with pops of sunny yellow, zesty orange, or even a vibrant green.

The Takeaway

Frank Blue (SW 6967) isn’t just a paint color; it’s an attitude. It’s for those who aren’t afraid to step outside the box and let their creativity shine. It’s dynamic, expressive, and full of life — perfect for injecting personality and making a memorable statement in your home. As Sherwin-Williams aptly puts it with their Color of the Month tagline: “Dare to be different.”
