Painting the interior of your home is one of the best ways for a home refresh. A new paint color instantly changes the tone of the room- literally! With a new year approaching, new color trends come too. Be sure to keep reading for a complete list of my favorite paint color trends for 2019.
Behr: Blueprint
Behr describes Blueprint as a “honest, approachable color” and I agree! Blueprint is a warm shade of blue that crosses between denim blue and classic navy. It is a great color for a bedroom, bath, or kitchen. Blueprint also looks great mixed with other shades of blue, for a sleek monochromatic look.
Benjamin Moore: Metropolitan
Benjamin Moore has a 15 shade color palette released for 2019. The Metropolitan palette features “calm, composed, and effortlessly sophisticated shades.” The colors are neutral and understated, and are classic colors that can be used in any room in any way.
Sherwin Williams: Cavern Clay
Sherwin Williams has announced their 2019 color of the year, Cavern Clay. The company describes the hue as a “warm terracotta color with ancient, elemental roots.” Cavern Clay is a warm, earthy tone and can be used in any room in your home. It pairs wonderfully with soft neutrals and earthy toned accents.
PPG Paints: Night Watch
PPG Paints has announced their 2019 Color of the Year- Night Watch. Night Watch is a rich shade of dark green that truly pops. According to PPG Paint, “Night Watch’s versatility allows the paint color to be used in a variety of rooms and design segments – from healthcare to commercial and residential design.”
Pratt & Lambert: Earthen Trail
Pratt & Lambert chose a softer shade for their Color of the Year. Earthen Trail is described as a soft, elegant terracotta. They suggest combining it with neutrals that brings out the sherbet side of the color. Earthen Trail is a fun color that can go in just about any room of the house.
Dutch Boy Paints: Garden Patch
If you couldn’t tell, Garden Patch is inspired by nature!”All of our colors for 2019 have a happier tone and reflect an upswing in how people are feeling,” said Rachel Skafidas, color and design manager, Dutch Boy Paints. It may look intimidating but remember- you don’t have to paint your whole house green! Use Garden Patch on a patio door. It’ll brighten the space with just a touch of color.
Dunn-Edwards Paint: Spice of Life
The Spice of Life has been named Dunn-Edwards Paint Color of 2019. This rich, warm, shade of red is described as “warm, inviting, adventurous, strong, and life-affirming by Dunn-Edwards. Use this shade throughout your home, especially in a living room or dining room for a cozy, welcoming appeal.
