Color Trends & Color of The Year 2023 - Raspberry Blush 2008-30

Joie de Vivre

A vivacious shade of coral tinged with pink, Raspberry Blush enlivens the senses with an electric optimism.

Raspberry Blush 2008-30 strikes the right chord, setting the stage for Color Trends 2023.

Never a backdrop, Raspberry Blush is the definition of charismatic color. This unapologetic shade of red orange had us thinking: bold, bolder, boldest. This sentiment flows through the rest of the palette as we immerse ourselves in hues that make a statement. Inspired by an artist’s desire to communicate through color, shape, and sound, Color Trends 2023 was built to envelop you in vivacious color.

To commemorate this year’s selection, Benjamin Moore partnered with electro-funk duo Chromeo to underscore the upbeat and optimistic tone of the palette and the dynamic role color plays in self-expression—much like music.

Chromeo’s new song, ‘Raspberry Blush’ celebrates the positivity and enjoyment of life that both color and music influence.

Benjamin Moore Color 2023 - European School of Design

Many have heard about Pantone's definition of trend colors and follow their announcements.

But did you know about the American interior paint manufacturer Benjamin Moore, who also announces trends regularly?
⠀
This year, the company has chosen Raspberry Blush 2008-30 as its 2023 color of the year, a "living coral shade with a pink sheen".


⠀
After a few years of more neutral tones, the firm is returning to a rich and intense coral without a touch of purple.
⠀
This shameless red-orange color makes us bolder, bolder and bolder. He does not enter the room silently and does not serve as a silent background. He takes center stage and wants to be noticed. It awakens feelings and fills with optimism, which we all lack so much now.
⠀
"It's a really charismatic tone, and it'll just be a neutral backdrop for the walls," says Andrea Magno, director of marketing and color development for Benjamin Moore. "It's about awakening our senses and bringing people to vibrant color. In recent years, subdued colors have contributed to the serenity of our homes. Last year, we talked about greenery, strengthening the connection with nature. But now we have a bolder future." A rich red-orange is the best color for a truly beautiful sunset and will inspire you to break out of your color comfort zone.
⠀
Notably, Raspberry Blush notes the desire for warmer shades. Playing with "crimson blush" can mean a modern take on the red dining room of yesteryear, or incorporating it on a smaller scale as a painted piece of furniture. No matter how much surface area is given to color, it will bring energy to any space.


⠀
"People always turn to nature as a source of inspiration. But this year, instead of admiring the more organic, vegetal shades, we chose outstanding colors - the fiery colors of the sunset, tropical flowers, the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. Color Trends Palette 2023 allows for the use of dramatic colors that are fun, reflect individuality and transform a room in an incredible way," says the company.

Raspberry Blush also lays the foundation for Benjamin Moore's 2023 color trends. The eight-color palette is an eclectic mix of colors with nostalgic references to the 80s and 90s. Each of these eight confident shades offers inspiration and creativity while encouraging you to go beyond the traditional to experience a truly exceptional color.


⠀
These shades allow you to step out of your comfort zone, push the boundaries and completely immerse yourself in a new bold color, and feel the mood of the Mediterranean Sea.
The palette provides harmony for design projects in any style.
⠀
And the influence of color on the emotional state can hardly be overestimated. We have already written about this in detail in our telegram channel.

5 interior color trends that will rule in 2023

On December 1, 2022, an interesting event in the world of design will take place - the Pantone Color Institute will officially announce the main colors and shades of 2023.
Of course, we will immediately cover this event in the blog.
In the meantime, we have some interesting information from another trendsetter in color design. Benjamin Moore & Co. since 1883 it has been manufacturing Premium and Super Premium class paints and varnishes and is a benchmark for many paint manufacturers around the world, including Russia. Benjamin Moore have already published their palette for 2023, which consists of 8 colors.

For the last few years, muted colors have contributed to the calmness of our homes. Last year, everything was dedicated to a calm green and an interesting purple called Very Perry, which promotes connection with nature and the digital world. We can now say that the Benjamin Moore Company is looking to the future with their Color of the Year 2023, which was proclaimed Crimson Blush.

The rich red-orange color is inspired by nature and is reminiscent of a beautiful sunset on the ocean. It also encourages us to break out of our color comfort zone. After all, the era of dynamism is coming.
Leading color experts announce the end of the dominance of neutrals and cool tones. Bold, playful tones based on the warmer side of the color wheel are predicted to skyrocket in 2023. Reason: People are becoming more adventurous in choosing color as a way to express themselves.
While choosing the right shade really comes down to personal preference, there are a few options for those looking for inspiration.
Here are five color trends that will be popular in 2023.

Spectacular reds and oranges

Benjamin Moore has moved away from the calm shades of last year and proclaimed Raspberry Blush as his official color of the year. This decision means a more active movement in the interior design industry towards more saturated shades.
Colors such as red, orange and terracotta are expected to skyrocket in popularity due to their ability to take people out of their comfort zone, energize and uplift.

Unexpected Light Green

Midtone greens have conquered homes around the world for their ability to play with nature, to act calmly and refreshingly at the same time.
Savannah Green has a citrusy, tart undertone that might be unexpected for a wall color, but when used in a room, it creates a space that is both playful and sophisticated.

Natural Inspired Shades

Nature continues to inspire color trends for 2023, with a growing interest in more earthy, vibrant and natural shades. In particular, shades of warm brown that are reminiscent of various types of wood, minerals and precious stones.
Colors of bark, wood, metal... in a word, copper-brown colors of medium tones create comfort and stability in rooms, while creating a sophisticated backdrop.

Sublime blush

Color experts explain that neutral colors play an important role in creating a solid foundation for an interior. However, in 2023, instead of the cold tones that we have seen in the past, neutrals will take on a warmer character with earthy undertones. For example, an unusual ash pink, reminiscent of attractive suede, the color of the dawn, a slight blush on delicate skin, will be very popular as a canvas for your updated interior.
