Want to Know The Best Colors For Walls in 2016?

It’s that time of the year, November, when we turn to holiday nutty and start thinking about 2016 and what will be different.  Maybe you want to change it up; maybe you want some new color in your life.  No folks we’re not talking life decisions rather a few year timeline!  Remember when we told you about our top 10 paint picks for fall; well today Benjamin Moore is sharing its color trends 2016 palette, i.e. their favs for the year ahead!   And they are

And top of the list is the 2016 color of the year – Simply White OC-117.

Hear why they chose it below

Check out how this “silent hero” (don’t you just love that term) looks in different spaces

layered whites, diffused light… ambience

striking contrasts, bold lines…definition

white-washed walls, hand-hewn beams…texture

energizing color, crisp white borders…focus

We know there are people out there that think white isn’t a color but we’re obsessed; it does the trick every time!  Cloud white has been our staple for a long time and we can’t wait to give Simply White a run for it’s money!  Our other favorites:

1. French Press- like coffee or a milkier hot chocolate brown brings comfort to a room.  While the world has gone grey (for now) there is something so classically soothing about this hue.

2. Blue Echo- The closest this to teal it strikes the perfect balance of relaxation.  Ocean or sky its the perfect ‘calm’ for daydreamers that will no doubt make you leave feeling happy.

3. Banana Yellow- whoa!  Bold would be a severe understatement and definitely do NOT do an entire room, even accent wall in this BUT its fun and its youthful and could be a great feature tone.  Energizing, vibrant, upbeat and we’re left wondering where you would use it?  Ideas …

Notice walls only – the white ceiling balances it out as does minimal yellow in the furnishings

I mean, sweet right?!  We think this is the biggest winner though – LOVE
