Greyish Green With Envy: Color Trends 2015

It’s that time of year friends! Time to raise a glass and toast the Benjamin Moore color trends for 2015. 

As we say farewell to the current title holder, Breath of Fresh Air, we warmly welcome the NKOTB (sans Marky Mark's brother and the rest of the gang) Guilford Green

And the Benjamin Moore 2015 color of the year is....
Was there an acceptance speech?

At first I thought, oh great — just when I got my clients to look beyond the sage of 10 years ago, here we go again. But upon further investigation I see this color is not the same ol’, same ol’. It’s a silvery green that's a natural neutral. Just the right color to go with pretty much everything. 

Check out the whole 2015 palette -- broken down by color family, below. Feeling adventurous? Let’s find a spot to use Old Claret or Jack Pine. Looking for something a little more mellow? How about Antique Jade or Silver Fox? 

And just because these are the color trends for 2015, by no means do I plan to stick to or suggest these 23 colors exclusively. It’s true I do have an ongoing love affair with Ben Moore, but that’s because they have the most colors and best paint. 

If you’re ready to update your colors, I’m your girl.

And please, for your own safety and sanity, never choose a color from a computer screen, smart phone or standing in the paint store. You really, really need to see the swatch in your own home with your own lighting. Consider yourself warned. 

















Let's say adios to our current title holder Breath of Fresh Air. It's been a great year and I think we'll be seeing each other again real soon.
