PANTONE COLOR INSTITUTE
Get ready to spice up your home with these delicious 2019
colors. With 72 forecasted hues, a preview of two palettes,
Cravings and Classico, show that a delightful range of spicy
and modern is projected for 2019. Cravings, inspired by
“fetish foods” ring of deep rich colors like Cayenne and
Cappuccino. Classico provides a more everlasting and elegant
undertone of Apricot Brandy and Rich Gold, reflecting
elements of beautiful sunsets and the coast. They’ve also
listed their Color of the Year for 2019 as the “vibrant yet
mellow” hue, “Living Coral,” representing “the fusion of
modern life.” Pantone said it selected Living Coral as a way to
“remind people of the desired, familiar, and energizing
aspects of color found in nature.”
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
The paint company released their 42-color palette broken up
into six themes. They are introducing more popping color to
offset the minimalism trend of previous years. Expect to see
more earthy tones like leafy green and dark mushroom in the
kitchen and dining room. The themes are broken up by
mystical blue “Shapeshifter,” earthy brown “Wanderer,”
copper and gold “Aficionado,” bold red and green
“Enthusiast,” sophisticated botanical pink “Naturalist,” and
muted mauve “Raconteur.” There’s a theme for everyone.
BEHR
The paint company named its 2019 Color of the Year
“Blueprint.” A rich mid-tone blue, this hue will match with the
2018’s jewel-toned colors. A classic and yet dark color, this
warmer than denim blue will be easy to match with varying
color combinations and on home accessories.
