Paint Colors of the Year 2023
Every Fall paint manufacturers present their color forecast and announce their representative color for the upcoming year. Each paint company spends hours researching and observing the current cultural climate resulting in colors symbolic to it.
Neutrals. Soothing Hues. Warm Earth Tones.
Let’s check them out!
Color forecasters are predicting palettes chosen for their distinct presence and personality. 2023 is a year of adding individuality to your space and discovering the transformative power of paint with hues inspired by modern art, natural changes that occur in metal, and a desire for self-expression through color.
Here’s the breakdown of the top three paint manufacturers…
Sherwin Williams
Sherwin Williams announced their color for 2023 is Redent Point SW9081. Warmth, intrigue, calming, and versitile are some of the adjectives they used for their paint color selection. SW embraced the spirit of connection with the world around us with this soulful-yet-subtle hue. This minimal yet cozy color creates a comforting backdrop for everyday moments that matter. Here’s to softer spaces!
Benjamin Moore
Make room for a vivacious shade of coral tinged with pink, Raspberry Blush 2008-30 has been named the Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2023. Enlivening the senses, Raspberry Blush encompasses an electric optimism and is the definition of charismatic color. BM is unapologetic with their choice of red-orange and I personally love it! They had me at a hue that makes a statement! BM drew inspiration from artists desiring to communicate through color, shape, and sound as well as giving individuals a platform of self-expression.
Seeing Red? I put together this vision board featuring the colors of year chosen by Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore. They both selected red-based pinks. I think these story boards showcase the personality and versatility of each color. Which do you prefer?
Behr Paint
A much calmer selection, Behr’s 2023 color of the year is Blank Canvas DC-003. Paint forecasters have said over the past few months that consumers are moving away from stark white walls and instead crave warmer beiges. Blank Canvas does not disappoint! As a neutral color, it creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This paint color can be used in virtually anywhere… entryways, hallways, main living spaces, in bedrooms, or even on kitchen cabinets. This neutral color offers a comforting appeal yet creates a fresh feeling.
