2013 Paint Colors

It’s here!

The color of the year is…. (drum roll, please)…

You know what? I really, really like it too!  Aloe is one of 40 colors that make up the 2013 color forecast. Selected by Sherwin-Williams color experts, the shades are grouped into four palettes: Midnight Mystery, Honed Vitality, Vintage Moxie and High-Voltage.

          


So out of these 4 color palettes, which one do you like best? I think “Honed Vitality” is more in line with what I have in my house. I am all about the neutral calm colors. (Is that boring or on trend? I often wonder…) I checked out the colors individually on Sherwin-Williams’ Pinterest Board and picked one color from each palette that is my favorite.

Aloe (SW 6464)

 

Aloe, of course! I love this minty blue green.

Gladiola (SW 7612)

 

Hello Happiness! Oh, yes! Gladiola be showing up in my house this year!

Mountain Stream (SW 7612)

 

Another blue… What can I say? I really like blue.

Rare Gray (SW 6875)

 

My go-to colors: gray or white.

 

 

The one I am most curious about is this “Plum Brown”.

Plum Brown (SW 6272)

 

I want to see it. The swatch does not do it justice, I am sure. Is it more Plum or Brown? I am seeing Plum and I like it. I think this calls for a trip to my local Sherwin-Williams for a sample. It just screams “possibilities” to me.

 

What are your colors this year? Which color palette appeals to you most?

 

 

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
