Pantone Color Institute has been announcing the “Color of the Year” since 2000. Two times a year Pantone organizes secret meetings of the minds for leading international color experts and design professionals to discuss the latest trends. The color of 2019 has been announced: “Living Coral”, a vivid, delightful color with strong character, making its mark in homes and in printed or digital media as well. Its dynamic, inviting look can be applied perfectly in social spaces as a dominant color, or as a complementary color in youthful, vibrant homes.
PPG is one of the world’s biggest paint manufacturers with a widespread business infrastructure covering more than 150 countries worldwide. According to PPG, the color of 2019 is “Night Watch”, a dark shade of green evoking classic luxury aesthetics and the calming, healing atmosphere of nature. PPG recommends applying Night Watch in a spacious dining room or for highlighting a wall in your bedroom. Because of its pleasant vibes and deep texture, it’s also perfect for social or business areas.
The history of Benjamin Moore goes back to the end of the 19th century, when the Moore-brothers from Brooklyn have founded their paint business in 1883. Since then, Benjamin Moore has become one of the leading paint manufacturers in the US, as well as an inspiration for design experts and enthusiasts. This year, Benjamin Moore’s product range is dominated by pastel colors, including Metropolitan AF-690, which is a cold, neutral shade of grey. Metropolitan AF-690 can easily become the perfect counterpoint to a dark colored wall, and can be applied to doors and closet fronts just as well.
