Thinking of painting and missed the annual announcement about the hot colors for 2020? We've got you covered.
Here are some paint companies' colors of the year:
Sherwin-Williams went with a navy blue called Naval SW 6244. The shade is relaxing but also pairs well with muted palettes as well as bolder ones. A company spokesman predicted the next decade will mark the return of bolds and individuality over the neutrals that have dominated.
Behr went with a shade of green called Dragonfly, a muted shade that aims to bring the colors of nature indoors.
PPG went with a rich jewel tone called Chinese Porcelain, a shade of blue meant to instill calmness, reduce anxiety, and encourage sleep.
Stay tuned. More announcements are coming, including Pantone's annual Color of the Year choice. Rumors abound that it will reflect colors of the sea set off by browns.
