Rating Colors by Callie Rockmore

April 15, 2025

So, I've decided to rate colors from this website that says these were the most popular colors in 2024. I consulted an Better Homes and Gardens  article called “Every 2024 Color of the Year We Know So Far,”  so let's just get into it!

Stain French Blue: 

Probably 8 out of 10 for me;  I really like the color, but I can see why some people wouldn't like it because it's a muted kind of a blue, but it’s still colorful, so I think it was trying to appeal to two different type of people.  On the one hand, it's bright in the sun, kind of like a baby blue. But in the dark, it's more of a muted blue on the darker side. But to me, I love the color and I see the vision.

Ironside: 

To be completely honest,  I hate this color 3/10. It's like a muted brownish green grey? It’s …. as you could tell… not to my liking.  Iit has no sense of life in a home, and the only this it’s got going for it is it looks better in the light; in light it makes it look more green that is not as depressing. Iif this was in my room, I'd probably cry myself to sleep asking why I like to torture myself with this ugly color. I mean it's not the worst I've ever seen, but I've seen a lot of colors in my lifetime. And I feel like if you were going through something tough like, I don't know, your pet died and it's raining like how it does in Disney movies, it would look like the ground you buried it in, which personally I don't like. I mean -- no hate to you if you like -- but if you do, please just tell me why? Thanks. 

Peach Fuzz: 

Off putting name, but lovely color. The complete opposite of Ironside. 10/10.  I see why this is on here. It is a wonderful color I would love to wake up to;  it's very comforting. It's like sunset on a beach. It's lovely, it looks like a color you would see in a Disney scene where the main character reunites with their family. Anyways, complete cleanse after Ironside, this color.  If you brought a person over to your house whose mom painted everything Ironside color, they would never let you over to their house because yours is too good. Anyways, as you can, tell I love this color. 

Blue Nova: 

Nothing much to say about this I mean, it's just dark blue? I mean it's nice to look at, it's basically the same color as my jacket, so I like it. I mean, it depends if you like dark colors or blue so for me its a 6/10; no comment really. Not gonna lie, this can be said for the following colors: Theremal, Skipping Stones, Upward, Cracked Pepper, and Renew Blue. Anyways, these colors are ALL JUST A NON INTERESTING SHADE OF BLUE; you know what, there have been so many repeats of non interesting blue colors, it's now a 1/10.

Persimmon: 

I like this color.  It's kind of like Peach Fuzz;  it's just a deeper and a little darker, which I like: just not as much as peach fuzz, but it's really close. if you still want a nice peachy color but darker than normal, I would recommend this color.  Nice overall, so 8/10

Blue Bird: 

This is one of the only blues that wasn't basically the same. So already its score is going to be higher than it originally was, but that's like the only thing it has going for it, at least for any sane person. Because tell me, who would want a neon blue that isn't even the iconic neon blue?  What is this- goofy 90’s sweatband knock-off color blue?  Anyways, I don't like it that much. It just looks off for some reason and I can't put my finger on it.

Bay Blue: 

This color I think would be 10/10 for a beach house, but I doubt strongly if other houses could pull this color off.  It’s  like those things that say “The Beach is My Happy Place” in Maine gift shops. You know the thing I'm talking about - like those average tourist signs. Anyway, I believe this color would look really nice on a beach themed house.  Anywhere else, it would be like a 6/10.

Limitless: 

MORE LIKE LIMITED - THIS IS JUST A KNOCK OFF BANANA COLOR! Who thought it would be a good idea to call this banana  rip-off limitless?  This color is fine. I guess it just ripped off the natural banana color. It isn't even special.  I score it a 6/10 because it is just a  goofy rip off. I mean, if you don't want to spend money on that ugly paint, you could just rub bananas on your wall. It would honestly be better.
