Every year paint companies and color experts pick out a paint color of the year. 2020 colors range from vibrant to peaceful. See what colors I think will be trending and be inspired to add some to your home.

Paint Color of the Year
One of my favorite things to do each year is searching for the color of the year selections. It is a great way to see where our hues are taking us.
Most the time the colors are spot on, at least from my perspective, but then there are colors that I think to myself where did that come from.
This year I can easily see myself recommending some of the colors, and there are other colors that I have been trying to figure out a way to blend them into our modern farmhouse decor style.

Sherwin Williams
The first color we want to share with you is Sherwin Williams color of the year 2020 Naval SW 6244.

Naval is said to be a rich navy that creates a calm and grounding environment. A tone that will warm up any room.
If you love the color, this is an excellent choice for your walls, door, cabinetry and so on. But if you are more of a neutral person, then I would recommend using it as an accent.
I think this color is telling us that interior paint colors are moving to art deco influences.

In case you are wondering Pantone is a company who creates a color chart that other companies use as a guide.
Many businesses have a color that is on the Pantone chart. They use those colors on the table whenever they are working with other industry to print their stationary order shirts and so on.
It is a big deal to see what Pantone picks. In some ways they are the leader of the color pack, so to say.
This year Pantone delivers the surprising color Living Coral 16-1546.
I think this color will be fabulous in coastal homes. It will make a great accent hue.
Conclusion
Overall I think all the paint companies and experts have given us great color options for 2020.
What is your favorite color and where would you use it?
I am toying with the thought of painting a door which is what I did several years ago when I painted my front door Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue.
I feel in love with that color then so you never know if you will fall in love with one of these colors now.
Happy Decorating!

I wish I still had a Coasthouse. I would certainly use “living coral” somewhere. #hurricanemichael

It would have been a great color for the coast house!
Cecile says
I have used a colour similar to the blue print on the walls of our guest room. However it was my own mixing of leftover paints. I love doing that to create colours that I love. Blues, most greens, coral and aquas. I’m looking forward to testing and using some of these colours.
Linda McDonald says
I love blues and greens! Good luck with trying the colors of the year in your home.
