More Color Trends for 2012
Happy Monday everyone! Today I wanted to share some more colors trends from Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore.
Here are the palettes from the Sherwin Williams 2012 Color Forecast:
Sherwin Williams 2012 Color of the Year is Argyle. It “is the perfect blend of blue and yellow, and is the color of commerce and the anticipation of greener pastures ahead.”
Here are the palettes from the Sherwin Williams 2012 Color Forecast:
Blues
Greens
Neutrals
Reds
Do you have any favorites?
Benjamin Moore has some beautiful color combos and I love their new color of the year, Wythe Blue, shown below.
Walls: Wythe Blue, Ceiling: Battenberg, Trim: Storm Cloud Gray (love the gray trim)
Same room, painted with different colors.
Walls: Sharkskin, Ceiling: Wythe Blue, Trim: Battenberg, Stenciling: Fresh Olive
LOVE this color palette!
Both Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore are moving more towards earthy tones for 2012, which some of you might be grateful for if you’re not the Tangerine Tango type of person. These colors are definitely more my style. 
What about you?
What about you?Have a happy Monday and great week! Hopefully most of you have today off?

2012 Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango
Happy New Year everyone!! I have taken a nice little break but am ready to get back to blogging and sharing more great paint colors with you.
I have to tell you that I love January. It's a fresh start for me and a new beginning with endless possibilities. I love making lists of things I want to accomplish and even though I don't ever get it all done I like feeling ambitious and having that hope that maybe this year I can do it. :)
Well 2012 is here and as we begin anew why not start with a fresh paint color?! Pantone has just released the new color of the year and I wanted to share it with you because I think it's so fun. It’s called Tangerine Tango and it’s a “spirited reddish orange, which continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.” Fun huh?!
“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”
I LOVE the pop of color this orangish tint gives to an ordinary room. It adds life, even in small doses so as the new year begins I wanted to share a bit of inspiration that I found with orange in the home.
The color of the year!
