obeayearof contrastswith regards to interior trendsand
to illustrate let’s startwithcolour.
BenjaminMoore featuredSimplyWhiteas thecolourof theyear in2016andnow is tout-
ing ‘Shadow’2117-30as theirpick for2017.At theoppositeendof the spectrum, Shadow
isbilledas ‘allusiveandenigmatic—amasterof ambiance’—I find it darkandbrooding.
Last year Pantonecouldn’t chose just onecolourbut elected for two—RoseQuartzand
Serenity (soft pinkwith soft blue). For2017 they reallywouldn’t nail downacolourand
haveofferedninepaletteswithnames for colours likeFandangoPink,OpalineGreenand
OrangePopsicle.All great accents toadd to themonochromaticbasicsand I am thinkingof
retailers likeRestorationHardwarewhichcontinues to show50 shadesof grey.
