Joie de Vivre

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.

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 be calming and refreshing 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.
Shades inspired by natural materials
As nature continues to inspire color trends for 2023, there is 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.
