2019 is taking a lifestyle-based approach to the development of new colour shades. Many paint brands have already released their colours of the year, from powerful aquas to soft terracotta. Companies are connecting the dots between consumers’ home lives, mental demands, and digital engagement, which inspired many of the colour picks for 2019.
If you’re looking to reboot your New Year’s home-refresh, check out Design Sister’s forecast for 2019’s top colours, and how to use them in your own spaces.
Digitally Inspired.
Smart technology in the home is driving the colour experience differently.” Because of this, we will see higher intensity shades that mimic the edge of artificial light in a way that is “strangely familiar” (and obviously gorgeous).
Vibrant Mellow Living Coral
PANTONE 2019’s selected hue is Living Coral hue, which emits the desired, familiar, and energizing aspects of colour found in nature. In its glorious, yet unfortunately more elusive, display beneath the sea, this vivifying and effervescent colour mesmerizes the mind. Lying at the center of our naturally vivid and chromatic ecosystem, PANTONE Living Coral is evocative of how coral reefs provide shelter to a diverse kaleidoscope of colour.
A Contemporary Twist on Forest Greens
Deep forestry greens that are inspired by (but not directly reflective of) nature will bring the healing, living properties of the outdoors into your home, without feeling overly arboreal.
Mindful Grey Undertones.
People will begin to incorporate calm grey undertones, which are associated with mindful living and smart choices. These coined “introspective shades” regard a colour’s undertone as equally important to the shade itself. Navy’s, purples, and browns with grey undertones create a subdued sense of tranquillity in the home.
Make the tone pop with Bristol blues, black and charcoal greys.
Dusty Blush.
Millennial pink is a colour of the (very recent) past. Now, softer more subtle shades like rosy neutrals and muted blushes, which reflect a spirituality, are being favoured. Unlike millennial pink, these hues are less trendy and more timeless. Love them.
In Conclusion
