Color of the Year 2018
By 105 Top Interior Designers
The palette of colours predicted this year for interiors by ace colour and design institutes witnessed considerable variations. In a bold move this year, Pantone’s “Colour of the Year,” 'Ultra Violet' is a complete contrast to last year’s serene and popular “Greenery.” It empowers the designer to go bold, wild and beyond the ordinary. Dulux declared 'Heart Wood', a warm tone of Pink, as their number one choice, a versatile enough hue for both vibrant and relaxed settings.
Sherwin Williams remained loyal to the widely accepted Blue-Greens with 'Oceanside', a timeless, mix of rich blue and jewel-toned green. Benjamin Moore’s selection bordered on the dramatic, with the edgy and vibrant 'Caliente', a strong Red.
As part of our yearly online survey with world-renowned designers about the Color of the Year, this year, we found some interesting facts. The survey revealed that although the above-predicted colours did not quite influence everyone as a primary colour choice; but these bold colours are fast finding acceptance. Our survey covered 105 Design experts worldwide, who are passionate enough about the subject and helped us compile our very own list of trending colours for 2018.
