Benjamin Moore reveals 2019 Color Of The Year...

Metroplitan AF-690

This seductive, neutral color has been selected from the Affinity color collection as Benjamin Moore’s 2019 color of the year. AF-690 is described by the paint company as calm, composed and effortlessly sophisticated.

We saw last year’s choice of Caliente AF-290 -a vibrant red- permeate the design culture as hues of red saturated the scene from hand bags to fabrics. As a culture we seem to be looking for peace and equanimity. I think this year’s selection of a versatile gray with cool undertones is just the ticket to creating an escape from the chaos that life can bring. Metropolitan AF-690 is enhanced by natural light, works well with contemporary or traditional and looks as good with ruff hewn wood as it does with a glamorous sparkle. It creates a serene backdrop for our lives -an unexpected moment of bliss! Give it a try!

Ben Moore also released a supporting palette comprised of 15 harmonious colors including earthy Kona, soft pastels and rich greens and blues.

I am so excited to play with this 2019 color forecast! Here are just a few applications that come to mind…..

Urban farmhouse interior * Denver condo with window walls * with Bohemian tile * with a Stacked stone fireplace * to compliment wood kitchen cabinetry * Laundry/mud room cabinetry and trim color * a Great relaxing and atmospheric master bath color! *
