Like shiny red sports cars turn heads and stunning red dresses at weddings upstage brides, Benjamin Moore’s charismatic Colour of the Year 2023 is a scene stealer that exudes confidence and demands attention. Every. Time.
Raspberry Blush 2008-30, a richly saturated red-orange that enlivens our surroundings and awakens our senses, is unapologetic in its bravado while making a bold statement. This colour is no backdrop. It’s a center stage, big-name-on-the-marquee kind of showshopper ready for its close up. It makes colour the star.
“People are ready to bring colour back into the home, taking a step outside their colour comfort zones,” said Andrea Magno, Colour Marketing & Development Director at Benjamin Moore.
“Raspberry Blush 2008-30 and the Colour Trends 2023 palette empower the use of statement colours that deliver delight and personality, while transforming rooms for incredible results.”
Breaking free of the trend toward muted, softer paint colours that may have been reflective of a mood, but didn’t make a particular statement or take a stand, this year’s Colour Trends choices are changing the conversation.
Led by vivacious Raspberry Blush, this complementary palette celebrates colour to influence dramatic transformations. Together or separately, they can revitalize a living room, revive a dining room or rouse sleepy architectural details. Quite simply, they add “rawr” to wherever they go, from feature walls to front doors.
Discover the eight exceptional hues each selected for their distinct presence and personality, all of them sure to push creative buttons and design boundaries while inspiring greater colour confidence.
