Color Trends 2016

Ok, this may sound crazy but just a few hours ago Benjamin Moore released their

2016 Color Of The Year and it is (drum roll)…

SIMPLY WHITE OC-117

Brilliant!

More than brilliant, universal, timeless, clean, crisp, defining, bright, uplifting, the list goes on.  White will never go out of style and it goes with anything, it is not gender specific,

 and has a cheerful quality that brightens up a darkened room. 

I love it!  

I recently was at the shore and remarked how

I wanted a house with all white walls…I could put anything on the floors and use color in the furnishings, art and accents with white being dominant, ahhhh!

White doesn’t distract from anything, it compliments everything.  

Have I convinced you to paint it all white yet? 

Simply White isn’t simple at all, it has a warmth,

 it allows architectural elements to be seen, and it soothes.

There is definitely a dreamy elegance to this color…and it is a color!

 In addition to the release of their color of the year, 
Benjamin Moore didn’t leave out all those who love a splash and dash of more. 

They introduced the color palette for 2016 that has a bunch of neutrals

and rich accent hues.

These 2016 colors will bring out the best in your home!

 Sherwin Williams has their own Color Forecast for 2016. Looking over both trends I noticed that there is a natural quality to the choices, this creates a familiar warmth throughout your home that “synthetic colors” can’t achieve.  When you compare the two palettes there are similarities, re-enforcing that the selected colors are great choices.  

You can't wrong using any of these!
