Last year there were so many similarities the picks from each of the top paint companies (two I could barely tell apart!).  This year there is a fabulous range of colors, but you can certainly see the trend influences.  Choosing paint colors like a pro is easy with some of the top choices:

Sherwin-Williams: Redend Point

This earthy blend of blush and beige is so warm and inviting!  I think this would be fabulous for an entry or bedroom.  PRO TIP: These blended colors can really change with the light, so make sure you test a large swatch in your room before you commit.

Krylon: Spanish Moss

I love this stunning dark green!  It has a hint of olive to keep it modern, making it perfect for today’s push towards energetic vintage styles.  PRO TIP: Dark greens are stunning with metallics; try pairing it with bright copper, mellow brass and deep golds.

Benjamin Moore: Raspberry Blush

Finally – a bright color!  This vibrant, coral-tone is bright and cheery, yet has a moody soul in keeping with the naturalistic trends of today.PRO TIP: Raspberry Blush is a super saturated statement color – adding loads of neutrally colored, heavily textured furniture and textiles will keep it from being overpowering.

Behr: Blank Canvas

I love having a nice soft white in my arsenal, and this one is perfect.  It has a lovely ivory base, making it pair with virtually anything.  When designers say “go white!”, this is what they are looking for! PRO TIP: Much like fine chefs always using white plates, a soft white base allows you to go any color direction with your decor.  It showcases any style! 

HGTV by Sherwin-Williams: Darkroom

I think I’m officially in love.  Many of you know my enduring devotion to using black in decor (I’m still trying to get my never-try-anything-new husband to let me paint a living room wall black!), and this is THE black to try.  It’s almost a soft charcoal, making it stunning for an accent wall, kitchen cabinetry, or (gasp!) small rooms.  PRO TIP: If you need some inspo, the designer who has really nailed the use of black in decor is Valentina (houseofvalentina.com).  She’s a long-time favorite of mine!

Glidden: Vining Ivy

This stunning blend of green and blue makes the perfect teal pop!  It’s very on-trend for the boho style trend, but it has a lot of vintage roots that will stand the test of time.  It’s bright but soothing!   PRO TIP: This teal shade is stunning paired with natural elements like wood, wicker and rattan.   

So there you have it – a few of the top picks to help with choosing paint colors for 2023.  Which is your favorite?
