1Citrus
Jean Randazzo"Small shots of big citrus bring excitement to a space without creating visual overwhelm. It’s like a punchy-colored throw pillow for the wall. When used in a specific area of wall, it defines a space and everything looks good against this yellow green. Even beige!" — Jackie Terrell, Interior Designer
2Rust
Miranda Estes"Blush really had its moment in 2022, but rust may be poised to take over. It's less feminine feeling and plays into an earthy modern color palette, making a beautiful companion to Dijon yellows, teals and greens." — Amy Vroom, Founder, The Residency Bureau

3Monochromatic Looks
Ryan Garvin"Using the exact same color in the same finish to walls, trim and ceiling lets you keep the traditional details like crown molding while giving it an instant modern update. Going all in makes rooms feel dramatic, warm and welcoming all at once. A satin finish is the best option for this approach. It’s not as shiny as semi-gloss, but it has a little bit of sheen without being shiny." — Mary Beth Christopher, Founder and Lead Designer, MBC Interior Design
4Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue
Hayward Photography"Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue is one of our favorite, go-to colors. It’s not too blue and not too green, rather the perfect marriage of both. When used on a porch, it blurs the lines between the outside and inside. Earthy, natural inspiration in design is absolutely trending right now, and will continue to become more prevalent in 2023. Palladian Blue brings lots of earthy greens into undertones into a space, making it a likely candidate to be a trending paint color in the new year." — Jillian Shaible, Principal, Susan Hayward Interiors

5Black
Adam Macchia"My ultimate favorite black has as much to do with the sheen as it does with the color: Fine Paints of Europe's HollandLac in black is the ultimate for glossy black doors. I've used this on most of my own homes (and a few for clients). It requires an expert application, but the results are sublime; glossy to the point of reflection, this paint finishes like black glass." — Dan Mazzarini, Principal and Creative Director, BHDM Design
6Soft Blush

Jacarrea Garraway 12Glidden's Vining Ivy

Sitting perfectly between a blue and a green, Vining Ivy toes the line between a jewel tone and a deep sea hue, making it an on-trend addition to contemporary designs or a refined pop of color for those with more traditional taste." — Gil Walsh, Principal, Gil Walsh Interiors
