Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2014

lavenderWhen I met with my Ben Moore design rep the other day, she asked what I thought about the new 2014 Color Trends. I have to admit, as much as I am crazy about color and try to keep up with everything, I had not even really looked at the colors yet. Everything goes by so fast- read today or it is gone. For some reason, I just skipped over the rest of the new colors.Of course I read all about the color of the year, Breath of Fresh Air:breath of fresh airBenjamin Moore states that Breath of Fresh Air 806 is the common thread that weaves through every color chosen for the Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2014 palette. I can see that.Here is the Color Trends 2014 ‘new’ neutral palette:Benjamin-Moore-Color-trends-2014viaWhat are your thoughts?  At first glance, I thought they were all pastels. Some are light such as Fruit Shake 2088-60:fruit shakeAnd Distant Gray 2124-70:distant grayBut there are also quite a few of mid to darker shades such as Sparrow AF-720:sparrow2Van Deusen Blue HC-156:van deusenCaribbean Teal 2123-20:caribean TealAnd Super Nova 1414:super novaLove those blues!I have worked with Clay Beige OC-11:clay beigePalladian Blue HC-144:palladian blueAnd Nightingale AF-670:nighingale
