Developed as a way to forecast trends in home decor and fashion, Pantone has declared a new color of the year since 2000. It seems only natural that popular paint brands like Glidden and Dutch Boy are now following suit and making their own “Color of the Year” selections. Although this year you won’t find any of the choices quite as loud or vibrant as Pantone’s 2018 Color of the Year Ultra Violet. Today we’ll explore the 2018 color of the year paint trends from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Glidden, Dutch Boy, and Behr.

5 Color of the Year Paint Trends for 2018

Benjamin Moore – Caliente

First up, is this spicy hue from Benjamin Moore aptly named Caliente. The strong color makes a memorable statement no matter the room. Use it to create a pop of color in an otherwise neutral room or go bold and feature the paint color in a space like the entry way below.

Sherwin-Williams – Oceanside

Sherwin-Williams describes Oceanside as a “rich blue with jewel-toned green, a color that is both accessible and elusive”. Whether your design aesthetic is mid-century modern or farmhouse chic, this new version of teal can be incorporated into your decor in so many of ways.

Glidden – Deep Onyx

Dark charcoal walls aren’t a new trend but we’re not surprised Glidden chose Deep Onyx as their paint color of the year. This hue sticks around because of its innate ability to make a statement while also remaining neutral. Deep Onyx is an especially gorgeous option for a small space like a powder room or office.

Dutch Boy – Sandstone Tint

Sandstone Tint from Dutch Boy proves there doesn’t have to be anything boring about beige. This paint color creates a clean, modern back drop to display all of the other elements in the room. Focus on bringing other natural fibers and textures into the space to enhance the effect.

Behr – In the Moment

Last but not least of the 2018 paint color of the year selections is In the Moment by Behr. The combination of blue, grey and green tones creates a soothing tone that’s suitable for both interiors and exteriors. Take a chapter from Joanna Gaines’ design book and use it in a dining area or add visual appeal to a stone exterior by painting the front door.
