Color Trends for 2010 (part 1)

According to Benjamin Moore, GREEN is the color of the year for 2010, along with neutrals.


Colors shown here are; Pale Celery, Meditation & Cedar Green

Some sources say gray, oatmeal and stone will be the colors of choice, with citron, orange and purple as accents.

I am leaning towards enjoying the calmness of the gray, oatmeal and stone palette. Here are a few other examples.

  1. David Schaffner just sent me a link to your blog, i'm; so glad! You're right, this is an awful turquoise, flat, empty, vapid. I do like a turquoise blue made by Rembrandt, though, especially when it's dirtied rather than used straight from the tube (well, like all paint).
