It’s finally that time again – the time to talk about color trends for the new year! (We look forward to this blog all year long.) If you are contemplating a new look for 2023, we’ve got some exciting suggestions for you to consider. Join us for a brief but exciting overview of the top expert picks from your favorite Asheville house painters.
Sherwin William’s Color of the Year
Revealed in late 2022, Sherwin William’s Redend Point (SW9081) was chosen as the color of the year for 2023. It’s gentle blend of beige and rose offers a soothing, sophisticated vibe to any room it’s used in. Redend Point is recommended for use with a boho desert color palette, which makes this an even more exciting trend. That means you can consider any of the following for your next home paint refresher in combination with Redend Point:
- If you love sage green: Sherwin William’s Succulent (SW 9650)
- If you love a classic warm vanilla tone: Sherwin William’s Steamed Chai (SW 9509)
- If you love a rich, earthy red: Sherwin William’s Rojo Marrón (SW 9182)
Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year
Coming in with a bit more spunk, Benjamin Moore’s choice for 2023 is the vibrant Raspberry Blush (2008-30). It’s nostalgic 1990’s trend tone gives us the same happy-dance feeling we get when we order a scoop of our favorite pink sherbet. Recommendations for complimentary trending tones are, in contrast, soft, warm and cozy neutrals. For example, Raspberry Blush partners up nicely with any of the following:
- If you love a creamy white with a hint of yellow undertone: Benjamin Moore’s Navajo White (OC-95)
- If you love a crisp, clean white: Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace (OC-65)
- If you love white with a subtle violet/gray vibe: Benjamin Moore’s Calm (OC-22)
