Colour of the Year is often very subjective and can span the colour spectrum depending on the paint manufacturer. This year, we will focus on four of the major brands available in Canada. They, as previously mentioned, have collectively chosen four very different colours to offer you a wide variety of options.
Sico - Melt Water (6156-63)
Melt Water by Sico is a gorgeous blue-green teal that mimics the waters that snake between melting icebergs. It carries with it a soft, soothing feel which is great for areas of the home that are designed for relaxation. Try Melt Water in bathrooms / powder rooms, bedrooms, and living rooms.
Blank Canvas by Behr takes the combination of refreshing and soothing to a whole new level. Like many shades of white, off-white, and cream, Blank Canvas is one way to give your entire home a facelift. The toned down shade doesn’t possess the “industrial” look that some purer whites do. Instead, the warmth pulls it from that stark state and delivers something much more comforting.
Benjamin Moore’s Raspberry Blush is a playful take on the classic red. The soft, pastel-like hue brings life to a space by adding its own sense of character. Bedrooms and entertaining spaces are perfect for the attitude of Raspberry Blush. If not anything else, this beautiful colour is at least a conversation starter.
Sherwin Williams’ Redend Point is a far more toned down take on red than Benjamin Moore’s choice. The classic sophistication of the colour lends to use throughout the entire home. Add warmth throughout with Sherwin Williams’ choice for colour of the year.
Colour choices are as personal to paint manufacturers as they are to you as a homeowner. Regardless of your choice, the palette you choose tells the story of your home.
