2024 COLOR TRENDS | Benjamin Moore Color of the Year REVEALED!

[@hmfoden]

90% of the time these “ colours of the year” really don’t take off too quickly. I work in cabinetry, you really get to see which colours designers are loving and working with IRL. It’s more like “ colours of the decade” VS “of the year”

[@glowc2911]

Agree. Evergreen fog and urbane bronze. Don’t have them in my house but love looking at the colors.

[@Kellytalk]

I'd love to see your six most selected colours of the decade; now that would be cool!

[@faithrada]

​@@Kellytalkoooow. Yes.

[@JJoy-bk8yr]

My friends' new base cabinets are in a custom color very similar to Blue Nova. It was mixed to match the backsplash tile. The counters are white quartz and the upper cabinets are stark white. Very modern coastal - there is a water view from the great room. I'll let them know that they are ahead of the curve :)

[@DynamicBailey]

Are you kidding? Just about every new house has some form of hideous green either on the cabinets or the walls.

To me, color drenching looks like the "Landlord Special", where the owner just indiscriminately paints over everything in sight with one bucket, from ceiling to baseboards... light switches and outlets included! 😅

I "color drenched" my hallway about 20 years ago because it was a small hallway with lots of doors. I thought painting all those frames a contrasting color would make it seem busy, and also, I hate white ceilings. Who knew I was ahead of the trend? Certainly not me! 😂

[@abbiejoyguabna5320]

Same, I also do not like white ceilings

[@lilolmecj]

When using a light color in a small space I think it makes sense. I painted one small bathroom sort of a ballerina pink (with glitter added because I think it is fun), I painted the walls and ceiling. It looks very nice. I painted the baseboards white, though they do need to be repainted, I made a mistake with the type of caulk I used. You were ahead of your time!

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

I need to paint a small wall in a tiny toilet under the stairs (removed a radiator and patched the wall and love the colour that’s in there) and it occurred to me that the ceiling is already the colour of the walls and I ought to go ahead and paint the baseboards the same… it would help with the small space.

[@andreaschwartz1175]

When I saw the colour of the year I was so disappointed. I am not a fan of blue (green lover!) and I really don’t like Blue Nova, so I dismissed the entire palette. But seeing you break it down, and introduce the colours on their own, completely changed my opinion. I love the pink tones, the deep oranges and the green. Thank you for another great video, and for helping me understand the thinking behind the way the palette was conceived!

[@libraryminnie7674]

You must be thrilled with the great variety of greens in clothing. It must be hard to decide which to buy. I wasn’t ever a fan of green, but I am loving it now!

[@despinakyraleos2234]

I am with you. Not a fan of blues, love the greens and the pinks. I wasn't surprised when Blue Nova was chosen. When Sherwin Williams chose Upward, it was a sign. I love the combination of pristine and antique pewter

[@valerieunger211]

I actually love the teacup rose paired with antique pewter. I love all these colors. That dusty, muted quality is soft and cozy.

[@mellocello187]

I just refreshed all my rooms, after 22 years of living with what I did when we moved in, for $$$, and I watch HGtV and a very few good channels like this. I do not do trendy-trends. Nevertheless, I have decided that home fashions are a huge contributor to trashing the planet, as well as getting us to part with our money. Love that Nick said at the top, if you like your colors, keep them. But the ripping out of floors, one example, to put in gray (a few years ago) and now putting in light floors, after before the gray, dark floors. Well, hardwood floors used to be more of a mid-range color, and were “in fashion” in color and width, for decades. I am now boycotting hgtv.

[@markrice4808]

Remember that these channels, magazines, and shows have large staff developing more projects and "to do's that people could ever start and complete. Then, they rinse/repeat the process daily, monthly, and weekly, etc. The net result is that their business model can not allow one to have more than a brief interval of equilibrium before they work on making people dissatisfied. Oscar Wilde said, "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable we are forced to change it every six months." The turnaround time since then has been reduced considerably!

[@loribethartist6353]

I find that watching those shows makes me more unhappy with my home. When I just keep a tidy, clean home and light some candles I am happier ❤

There is a funny scene in the 1948 movie Mr Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse, where Myrna Loy is giving specific examples for each shade of paint for the interior rooms (Robins EggBlue, Butter Yellow, etc.).

On purple, my husband picked a really pale purple for our bedroom (called Globe Thistle) and a brighter warmer purple for his office (called Lavish Lavender) and they are magnificent. Purple is such an inspiring, magical color (in the right shades), and it's perked up these spaces so nicely. Would absolutely recommend. Purple doesn't have to mean jewel toned or little girl cotton candy.

I "drenched" my whole house in it before I knew drenching was a thing. Thanks for your insight. You are very enjoyable.

[@maddysal09]

As someone who painted my bedroom white dove with a cinnamon accent wall a couple of months ago, I am fully on board with this updated color palette!

[@jenniferobin7260]

My favorite has to be the Antique Pewter. I'm a sucker for a good green. I'm looking to redo the walls in our living room and dining room - right now we have this dark wood paneling. I want to go with a slightly warm greige and I think White Dove would be a great ceiling and trim color. I would love to fit in the Antique Pewter somewhere but not sure where it would go yet.

[@BarbaraM-lv7pe]

Perhaps in a new sofa or even rich velvet accent pillows, or adjoining walls into both rooms (wall in common) if you have any sort of open floor plan

[@ambsat]

This is my kind of palette. I love soft, desaturated colors, and always warm neutrals. I’m always and forever a soft ivory girl. That’s been my indoor color for over 20 years…so yeah…I’m either dedicated or boring, but I love it. My shade now is less warm/buttery than it was in 2000, so it’s more creamy white…that’s updated for me! Dove White’s always popular. I just change up decor with pops of seasonal color. I will never, ever, ever…live in anything cool, and gray, especially on my walls! You’re right, Nick…this year’s palette is soft, balanced, cohesive…last year was so disjointed & jarring! Only color I liked on it was the Tofino Sunset. That might have been pretty and an interesting “color neutral” in a room…though I’d still just be admiring it from afar, in my warm ivory room. :)

[@ambsat]

**oops correction, meant “White Dove” above. “Dove White” was actually my color in 2000/ California paints. I wish I’d done White Dove when I repainted in 2019, somehow I only discovered it after we painted, and after I painstakingly perused every ivory! I think I saw it and when it wasn’t like my old Dove White, went over it. I got close with Mountain Peak White, Benjamin Moore, but White Dove does seem softer, a tad warmer.

[@AriaIndy]

I see a lot of hate for color drenching BUT I personally love it!! It feels seamless to me and I think it looks amazing with intricate crown molding. I’ll definitely be doing this in my 60’s deco condo 😍 I’m thinking with a muted sage color, gold/brass accents and a bunch of interesting vintage furniture and decor finds ❤

Not a fan of color drenching . However , I do paint outlets & switches the wall color to blend in . Years ago when wallpaper was prominent , I did outlet covers & switch plates in the wallpaper ( again , to blend in ) even to the point of lining up the patterns , then a matching color on the actual outlet if needed . Obsessive ? Perhaps ... but the finished " smooth " look , no visual speed bumps , was worth it ! 🖌🎨

The best $300 I ever spent was for a color consultant for my townhouse. She picked a light golden yellow for my living and dining rooms when she saw my MCM tourquoise pottery collection and artwork and teak and similar color furniture, and the way the light shifts over the day. I would never have figured it out by myself, but I haved loved her choice every day. Picking paint based at least partly on the things you love and will keep, and how it will look in different parts of a room in different light makes sense to me, based on how well it turned out for me.

[@erinames7783]

I just painted my 500sq foot living room a very bold blue (I would say a bit more similar to last years starry night). The room has a vaulted ceiling with walls 10' to 16' tall. I have large chunky white trim lots of windows and a big white fireplace and a couple of big white bookshelves. I have accented with black leather and wood furniture (leaning towards the topaz warm brown) and lots of plants. So to say I am a fan of the blue and the topaz would be an understatement. I think these colours are gorgeous this year! I would actually love to submit photos or videos for Nick to critique!

[@migrabar79]

For me, this year's colors are much more livable than last year's, even though some of the colors are similar. I especially like Antique Pewter, it behaves almost as a neutral, doesn't it? I like when you can't clearly identify color as "grey", "green", "brown", etc., but is rather like a blend. Great video, as usual. Thank you.

[@BarbaraM-lv7pe]

Those blended colors are very moody (in a good way)

[@OMGitsaClaire]

I like these colors! I actually really like Honeybee. I feel like it could look really cool in a more retro space. I also like Pristine. I think peachy off whites don’t get enough love. Especially since n north-facing rooms or rooms with fewer windows, an off white with a slightly peach undertone in an eggshell finish can give the illusion of more sunlight bouncing around the room. Whereas if you painted the same room a cool-toned color or even a stark white it could look cold or sterile and a more brown toned off white could make it look dirty. (I’m also a fan of Sherwin Williams Ibis White for this reason. Painted a north-facing room this once and it immediately brightened it up.)

[@Jan-qv8ku]

Totally agree!

[@Xandycane]

Purple can easily work. When I loved with my niece (we're near the same age) we had purple (her favorite color) and green (my favorite color) in spades. It worked beautifully. Tons of wood furniture and black matted metal accents with warm off-white walls kept it cozy but still pretty.

It least they're peaking out of the muddy, downer colors. You might have thought that the colors of the past few years were warm, but to me, they were full of downer basic color. Greyish or brownish red isn't really red - it's grey or brown with red overtones. Greyish or brownish green isn't really green, it's grey or brown with green over tones .. I don't need everything in jewel tones, but they were really downers to me.

I'm very much of the same mind. I still really like a lot of the 2021 and 2022 colours, but 2024 also looks really cohesive! I like how soft everything is

[@VioletFem]

This year‘s palette also seems to complement last year‘s palette pretty well. You can pick any one of the bolder colors from the 2022 Benjamin Moore palette and combine it with the more muted colors of this year’s palette.

I love colors of the year. Makes me want to paint.

[@nailguncrouch1017]

Blue Nova fan here. I really like the two blues together.

Maybe because I'm old- and I am old-- I find painting your ceiling and baseboards and walls all the same color reads cheap apartment. It's like someone either doesn't have the money or the energy or the skill to paint the ceiling a nice crisp ceiling paint white and then go ahead and edge and do the walls etc. Particularly when the ceiling and the walls are the same white. Just me, " cheap apartment " decorating. 😵‍💫

[@melanieb2132]

I hate the same color on all those places. To me, it just means you want to hide errors in your crappy baseboard.. and if you already have short ceilings, it makes it feel like a cave. Nope. Not doing it.

[@coastaldiva]

I do not like color drenching much. It looks sometimes that you didnt see the baseboards and painted right over it without thinking

[@christinerakela1306]

Surprised that amber color is called topaz. My topaz and larimar jewelry is blue. Less saturated colors is a win for every decor. Love your videos, Nick!

[@lizcademy4809]

Blue topaz is ordinary amber colored topaz that has been irradiated ... I don't know the details of the process. My father's retirement hobby was gem cutting ... I have a huge blue topaz pendant he cut for me, and told me how topaz (which I think of as a smoky brownish yellow) became a clear sky blue.

[@cynthiajohnston424]

@@lizcademy4809 Interesting ! My birthstone is topaz , usually shown as the yellow-ish color , but I've always preferred the blue topaz . Love blue - my house exterior is light slate blue & predominantly variations of blue , w/ cream , interior colors . 💟

[@BarbaraM-lv7pe]

Historically golden topaz was a valued rare stone

Would love to see a short video about the Sherwin Williams color palette.

[@ubermut1379]

I really don’t understand the hate against orange. I used to have a bright orange room, and it always looked like I had my lights on! It’s such a joyous beautiful colour, and whenever I see an orange today I’m immediately drawn to it. I would paint my room in Topaz in A HEARTBEAT! You shouldn’t need courage to use beautiful colours! I would combine it with a dark green, some burgundy and dark purple hues… Maybe an nice maroon - it me be bc of my student accommodation but I’m just so sick of white walls.

[@BarbaraM-lv7pe]

Vibrant rich color combo, sounds robust

[@tamarabrooking4555]

Art Nouveau colors! I swear I have these colors in several Alphonse Muchin prints that I own. Morris seemed to use these colors frequently in his textiles, as well.

[@BarbaraM-lv7pe]

The palette strikes me as the same colors found in Liberty of London printed fabric 😂

[@patrickmurphy3179]

I would love to paint my kitchen Honeybee if my landlord would let me. The light brown/taupe is okay but not for every room in my house.

[@cathrynclark5287]

Nick, I have always heard that bold colors are preferred when the economy is bad and calming colors are chosen when times are great. ??? This also is reflected in clothing trends. Probably some psychological thing that when times are bad we want bright...??

[@chobitsconspiracy]

I believe Cloud White is BM's most sold colour here in Canada, mostly because it's used for cabinets, ceilings, and baseboards, but Dove White is close behind. (I worked at BM during the Revere Pewter years.)

[@maggieferguson6870]

I did as well! I cringed at the word griege.

[@calypso4554]

Thanks, very interesting. I never realized that there are colour palettes for every year in interior design Only in Christmas decorations which change every year so that you have to buy everything again and again and again....😉 I think the colours of 2024 work very nicely together and are looking good. Not my cup of tea though, I have not a home in which everything is bought at the same time. There are thrifted pieces, few antique ones, few new ones, all in all lots of colours except for blue and black.

[@Amoechick]

Honeybee + Teacup Rose = strawberry lemonade

[@jutka12]

I love colour drenching. I really wanted to do it a couple of years ago when I first saw it, but now that it’s a bonafide trend I think I’ll pass. I hate when things I like turn into a trend because then they get dated fast.

[@AngelaHolloway-z7r]

I like the color palette but I can't help but think "Benjamin Moore is having a baby!" Many of these colors are colors you see with nurseries.

[@kathleenm5026]

Would love to see a room designed using hazy lilac and antique pewter. Those two colors are so refreshing to me. A nice change from the beige onslaught we have been dealing with.

[@karenwilson9974]

Colour drenching is ok in maybe 2% of scenarios its done. The rest of the time its just landlords being lazy. 🤣

[@LauraoAirylea]

Colours make sense with art nouveau and art deco. Incorporating coppery metalics to snazz-up a space.

[@MisforMakeup]

I love how cohesive everything is this year and how well it could go with last year’s colors. Personally, I’m a saturated color person so I don’t like these colors but I can appreciate that people want color without the loud commitment.

[@kathiemihindukulasuriya1538]

My 13 year old son would like to propose black, white and greys with neon laser colors. Aka the 1990s, part 2

[@chernagast6754]

Not a fan of this set. Looks like preschool classroom primary color palette smeared with dust. The warm and cool don't feel cohesive together.

[@monas.6839]

I’m in love with the hazy lilac and antique pewter! 💚💜

[@caroledwards1182]

Love your videos! I don't generally care about trends, most of the stuff in my house was my parents. That said, I really dislike grey and I am so happy to see the colors finally warm up. I do like both last years colors and this years, I think you could mix the two. I bought my house in2008 and the owners had remodeled it, while they did a great job the paint colors had a grey tinge, which I didn't like. This is the first time I've found colors that I want to use to repaint.
