As we step into 2023, the world of color has come alive with vibrant hues that reflect our collective mood and aspirations. Major color influencers have unveiled their Colors of the Year, each one a testament to the power of color in shaping our perceptions and experiences. From Pantone's bold Viva Magenta to Glidden's soothing Vining Ivy, these colors not only influence interior design but also capture the essence of our times. Let's dive into some of our favorite Colors of the Year and explore some furniture options that can transform your living space.

Why is the Color of the Year so meaningful?

The Color of the Year is more than just a prediction; it's a reflection of global trends in design, fashion, and culture. Companies invest time and resources into selecting a color that resonates with the public's emotions and interests. It's like a New Year's resolution for colors, guiding us toward a fresh perspective for the year ahead.

What colors were people expecting for 2023?

In recent years, there's been a growing interest in nature and natural colors, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. People have shifted away from light neutrals and modern finishes, embracing warm earth tones and soothing greens instead.

As we entered 2023, many expected the Colors of the Year to follow this "back to nature" trend, with shades of green being a likely choice. However, this year's selections offer a mix of surprises and nods to nature, reflecting a broader range of influences and trends. Let's explore how these colors, like Pantone's Viva Magenta and Krylon's Spanish Moss, are shaping the design landscape.
