Colours of the year 2023
Every fall the major paint companies around the world releases their ‘Colour of the year’ for the following year. This year is just the same - around August (2022) we find most companies have released their colours for 2023. Let’s see where the experts think the colour trends are going for 2023.
Farrow & Ball Colour Trends 2023
The luxury British brand Farrow & Ball doesn’t have a colour of the year as such, instead they choose to have a few colours to show the colour trends for the next year. This year Farrow and Ball has the following paint colours trending:
Babouche #223 a fun yellow, Breakfast Room Green No.81, Incarnadine #248 a great scarlet tone colour, Schoolhouse White No.291 - a great neutral, Stone Blue #86 shown here from left to right.
Sherwin-Williams Colour of the Year 2023 - Redend Point
The world’s biggest paint company, Sherwin Williams announce Redend Point (SW 9081) as their colour of the year. It is a warm, earthy neutral which will work in many rooms and will create a calm, cozy feeling.

Dulux Colour of the Year 2023 - Vining Ivy, DLX 148-6
Dulux / PPG another big paint influencer choose this vibrant blue-green-teal colour. This is my absolute favourite of the bunch. This colour can be used in so many settings to create serene, calming spaces or could also look vibrant when compared with contrasting colours.
Benjamin Moore Colour of the Year - Raspberry Blush 2008-30
This year Benjamin Moore has gone for a rich, saturated coral called Raspberry Blush 2008-30. It is a joyful and fun colour. I think it is a beautiful colour to use sparingly to create major impact.
