2015 Color Trends

Did you know that one of the top reasons homeowners put off painting is due to the fear of choosing the wrong color?

Ground Yourself in Green – the color that ties things together. This silvery shade of green is the centerpiece of Benjamin Moore’s color trend story for 2015, a palette of 23 shades of green, blue, blush and berry designed to mixed and matched.
