Color trends for the new year

Purple will reign in 2018. So predict the experts at Pantone, the authority on color trends. In December, it named Ultra Violet as its choice for color of the year. If purple doesn't do it for you, there are other hues that were designated colors of the year by paint manufacturers. Kelly Moore's Bahia Grass is a subtle shade of green. Dunn-Edwards' The Green Hour is a darker shade of gray-blue-green. Behr Paint's In The Moment is a restorative blue-green hue. Sherwin-Williams' Oceanside is a fusion of rich blue with jewel-toned green Benjamin Moore's Caliente is a vibrant, charismatic red. Dutch Boy's Sandstone Tint is the perfect neutral. PPG's Black Flame is a statement-making black, infused with indigo. Glidden's Deep Onyx is a rich black that works as a main color or as an accent.
