Colours of the year 2023

As we start the new year we start to get an idea of what the trending colours will be. Let’s take a closer look at the colours that have been released so far;

Benjamin Moore has gone with, in their own words, “A vivacious shade of coral tinged with pink, Raspberry Blush enlivens the senses with an electric optimism.” 

We could all do with some optimism right now and this colour doesn’t disappoint, it creates a warm inviting feeling and when used on panelling really gives depth and shadow to the bright colour.

Colours of 2023 – raspberry blush

Pantone sticking with a similar tone, “is a new animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint, an electrifying, and a boundaryless shade that is manifesting as a stand-out statement.” Whilst being a bold colour this shouldn’t put you off, being brave with colour can achieve a unique and inviting setting. Giving dimension to a room that changes throughout the changing light of day into night.

Earthborn A richly toned burgundy, this dramatic, colour is highly versatile. Use this as a feature wall paired with a warm off white colour or as a dramatic cosy colour for the dining room.

As a complete contrast to the other brands Dulux have gone for Wild Wonder and much like Pantone they have been inspired by the natural world and created a soft tone that’s both warm and soothing.
