Color Trends for 2018: The Year's Top Picks

We're just past the halfway point of 2018, and a handful of colors are already dominating interior design. From bold reds to calming blues, this year's picks offer something for every taste.

Here are the Colors of the Year chosen by industry leaders, plus ideas for bringing each one into your home.

1. Benjamin Moore: Caliente AF-290

This red-hot hue is a sharp departure from the neutrals Benjamin Moore usually favors. Caliente is versatile enough for a front door or an accent wall, and it makes a confident statement wherever you use it.

2. Graham and Brown: Penelope

Penelope is a dusty rose, a sophisticated take on millennial pink. Its chic, romantic feel can reinvent almost any room. Consider it for a bathroom or powder room refresh.

3. Pantone: Ultra Violet

This vivid purple adds energy and imagination to a space. Don't limit it to the walls. Reupholstering a chair or sofa is a great way to use Ultra Violet, and it pairs surprisingly well with many palettes.

4. Valspar: Grounded Charcoal Brown

For lovers of earth tones, this deep, warm shade is a natural fit. It works especially well in rooms that connect indoors and out. Add warmth with plenty of plants and eclectic lighting.

5. Behr: In The Moment T18-15

Behr's first-ever Color of the Year is a soothing blue-green that supports one of 2018's biggest trends: creating tech-free spaces to relax and unwind. It works on interiors and exteriors alike for a calm, cohesive feel.
