This sentiment was echoed by Scott Sinetar, vice president,
Architectural Coatings, North America, PPG Industries.
“The architectural coatings industry is in a better place in
2014 versus prior years because of the improvements in housing formation. All housing and commercial indicators call for
continued growth along with commercial construction gaining
traction,” he said.
Color Trends for 2015 and Beyond
When selecting an interior paint, color is first and foremost, the
most important factor. Consumers make selections based on
personal preference and may also find inspiration through design experts’ recommendations.
Benjamin Moore recently announced its 2015 Color Trends,
including the Color of the Year which the company said can be
the main color or highlight in any room: Guilford Green HC-
116. Through the Color & Design team’s research and travel
across the globe, four color families emerged suggesting bold
and confident color choices: berry, green, blush and blue paint
color collections that reflect a sense of optimism.
According to Benjamin Moore’s Color & Design team,
Guilford Green HC-116 complements both modern and traditional styles in a seamless manner. In addition to unveiling the
Color of the Year, Benjamin Moore introduced Color Trends
2015, a curated palette of 23 colors consisting of beautiful
green, blue, blush and berry shades that can transform a space.
Benjamin Moore said it continues to be an influential leader in
paint color for homeowners and designers by forecasting colors
and combinations that are truly livable and practical for every
style and home.
“One trend we see is the concept of monochromatic colors –
using warm, cool, dark and light layers of the same hue to give a
room a very distinctive look,” said Spillane. “Employing various
sheens creates another layer of texture in a space as well.”
Taking cues from trends in fashion, textiles and the arts, the
Benjamin Moore Color Studio team spotted the common thread
of balanced palettes and a design sentiment that continued to re-
flect a sense of optimism. Guilford Green harmoniously comple-
ments the Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2015 palette, which
also celebrates the concept of monochromatic colors – using
warm, cool, dark and light layers of the same hue – in the home.
With a monochromatic color scheme throughout a floor plan,
each room can have a very distinctive look making it almost im-
perceptible that there is a single hue at work. Exploring mono-
chromatic colors allows for a fresh approach in designing a
room as a single hue, color combinations are endless. Employing
various sheens creates another layer of texture in a space.
PPG recently announced that Blue Paisley, which the
Blue Paisley was selected as PPG’s Color of the Year.
