2023 Colors of the Year
As we start the new year, you may be considering freshening up your home. Whether you are looking to update your home in order to sell or you’re just looking to spruce up your surroundings, one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to do so is with paint. Painting a room or accent wall can change your entire space!
Every year, companies come out with what is called “Color of the Year,” which is a color trend predicted for the year. This can impact anything from consumer products like clothes to your home decor. Depending on the space you are looking to change, the Color of the Year can be applied to all of your walls, an accent wall, or even be the perfect colored accents placed around your room to complement the current decor. While The Pantone Color Institute originally created the Pantone Color of the Year, other brands have started to create their own color.
