Benjamin Moore Reveals “Shadow” as Its Color of the Year 2017
MONTVALE, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Benjamin Moore, North America’s favorite paint, color and coatings
brand, today announced its highly anticipated Color
of the Year 2017 – Shadow 2117-30, a rich, royal amethyst. The color
leader also unveiled Color Trends 2017, a corresponding palette
consisting of deep, saturated hues. The Color of the Year was unveiled
last night to leading interior designers, influencers and media at an
exclusive event in the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building of The New York
Public Library.
“Allusive and enigmatic, Shadow is a master of ambiance. It is a color
that calls to mind a ‘past’, yet it can also make a contemporary,
color-confident statement,” said Ellen O’Neill, Benjamin Moore Creative
Director. “Shadow is sophisticated, provocative and poetic, it can bring
energy to a space or harmony and a moment of respite.”
The Benjamin Moore Color Studio forecasts color trends after a year of
research attending major industry shows around the world, while also
taking cues from standouts in architecture, fashion, textiles, home
furnishings and the arts. Fine art emerged as a leading inspiration,
highlighting the correlation between an artist’s use of color and light
to create mood.
The Color Trends 2017 palette features 23 rich and sophisticated hues
ranging from muted pales to saturated deeps. In curating the palette,
the Color Studio lent significant consideration to the pairing of colors
and relationships between color families, as well as a newfound level of
color confidence in deeper hues among design professionals and
consumers. The inspirational Color Trends 2017 color card illustrates
the use of color in ways that celebrate how shadow and light travel
throughout a space during the course of a day. The 23 colors of the
Color Trends 2017 palette include the following:
