The Hottest Color for Home Interiors in 2015
/
0 Comments
Gray interiors are growing in popularity, holding the edge on most
popular hue for the second year for home interiors, according to the Paint
Quality Institute.
“It’s understated and sophisticated,” according to the Paint Quality
Institute in a 2015 color trends report. “And most tints and shades of gray are
‘chameleon’ colors that change appearance when the light changes, so they provide
enormous visual interest.”
Part of the gray appeal is that the color can go with just about any
other color, an easy on the eyes neutral that home buyers will appreciate too.
Gray paired with other neutrals – like white, off-white, beige, taupe, soft blue,
or black – can also provide a tranquil color scheme for an interior space,
particularly for family rooms and bedrooms, according to the Paint Quality
Institute. Many shades of gray are popular too, from silver tints to gunmetal,
charcoal, and slate.
“Grays that contain traces of warm hues like red, yellow, or brown
seem cozier, and partner best with warm companion colors,” the Paint Quality
Institute notes. “On the other hand, grays that have hints of blue or green
seem cooler and more austere, so they are inherently more compatible with
colors on the cooler side of the spectrum.”
