The Paint Colours We're Obsessed With Right Now
Soft and light, bold and bright, dark as night.
The newest paint colours are as unique as our homes, and will freshen your space and maybe even your outlook on the rest of the year.
Think Positively
Illumina TR24-3-1, BeautiTone, homehardware.ca
Designers often warn that finding the right yellow is tricky, but this iteration makes it easy. Illumina captures the positivity and hope associated with yellow, and has clarity without sacrificing softness, making it ideal to brighten any room (yellow is the brightest colour in the spectrum).
Looks great with: After Dark TR24-11-3, BeautiTone; Blissful TR24-10-1, BeautiTone; Spirited TR24-9-1, BeautiTone
Quietly Confident
Cracked Pepper PPU18-01, Behr, homedepot.ca
This shade exudes confidence. Wrap a room – walls, trim and millwork – to unite disparate architectural elements and add sophistication. The dramatic hue transcends decorating styles and will be at home in most interiors. Contrast with light colours, patterns and textures for instant chic.
Looks great with: Monet PPU15-17, Behr; China Silk PPU15-10, Behr; Cherry Juice S130-4, Behr
Peace On Earth
Upward SW 6239, Sherwin-Williams, sherwin-williams.com
Blue is known to calm the senses, and this breezy, blissful shade delivers. Its name suggests its mood: peaceful, positive and composed. It’s a quiet hue that doesn’t overwhelm; instead, it gently uplifts.
Looks great with: Honeydew SW 6428, Sherwin-Williams; Palm Leaf SW 7735, Sherwin-Williams; Antiquarian Brown SW 0045, Sherwin-Williams
Warm Welcome
Satin 6112-31, Sico, sico.ca
This modern yellow hue balances the power of a primary colour with the subtlety of a neutral. Satin is a warm honey beige that’s strong enough to stand on its own in a monochromatic palette, yet its neutrality makes it a good accompaniment to both warm- and cool-toned palettes.
Looks great with: Natural Spring Water 6201-31, Sico; Kennetcook Slate 6157-63, Sico; Cubist Red 6037-85, Sico
Dreamy Nocturne
Blue Nova 825, Benjamin Moore, benjaminmoore.ca
This beautiful blue violet evokes pre-dawn and late-dusk skies. It’s dark yet also radiates energy, like its astronomical namesake of a star that goes suddenly bright in dark space. This eye-catching mid-tone colour will imbue a room with irresistible mystery.
Looks great with: Monterey White HC-27, Benjamin Moore; Quincy Tan HC-25, Benjamin Moore; Mount Saint-Anne 1565, Benjamin Moore
