Major manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams picked the hottest colors for the new year after analyzing market trends and the habits of buyers. Though some of these colors are a little on the dark side, others will really pop when applied to your walls.

Violet Verbena

PPG Paints created its Violet Verbena lends a dramatic touch to any room but won’t overwhelm your senses. It combines elements of gray and purple to create a shade that is calming and soothing. Violet Verbena would look particularly great in a bathroom or bedroom. It can help you rest ease and even help you relax.

byzantine-blue

Byzantine Blue

Byzantine Blue from Glidden is great for those who like Violet Verbena but prefer something a little lighter. The addition of blue to this paint tones down the gray elements and makes the purple really pop. Depending on the way the light hits it, it might appear slightly blue or more purple. As a slightly neutral color, it works great in a living room or entryway.

Kettleman

Those looking to make a statement will appreciate the deeper color of Kettleman from Kelly-Moore. Though it mimics the look of cast iron, the manufacturer toned down the dark gray shade to make it work in more homes. Try using it in a room with more neutral or lighter accent pieces.

Honey Glow

When you hire a contracting company like Alair Homes Barrie to do some work around your home, you might consider bringing in some brighter colors like Honey Glow. Dunn-Edwards picked this as its top paint color for 2017 because the bold mustard yellow shade will instantly draw the attention of others. It can add curb appeal when painted on your front door or make your kitchen feel more welcoming.

Cloudberry

One look at Cloudberry from Olympic will make you feel like you’re resting on a fluffy cloud. Though similar to some of the other purple-gray paints on the list, Cloudberry has a little extra dose of gray. You can use this soothing color in a child’s bedroom or your own bedroom.

poised-taupe

Poised Taupe

Sherwin-Williams believes that darker colors can act as neutrals, which is why it created Poised Taupe. This rich shade is equal parts gray and brown and will work in almost any room. You can use it on a single wall to tone down a brighter color or on all walls in a single room. As it’s both cool and warm at the same time, it will work with all your existing decorations.

Shadow

Shadow from Benjamin Moore is the darkest shade on the list but also one of the most interesting. Though it may look almost black in the can, it actually dries to a richer and more brilliant shade that walks the line between purple and navy blue. It is so dark that you should use it in a smaller area to keep it from overwhelming the room.

Whether you need to paint your hallway, kitchen or even bedroom, these colors will help you stay right on trend. Pick one of the hottest colors that will work with all your existing decorations and shades that will help your home stand out.
