Top Paint Trends of 2017

At the beginning of each year, paint companies like Sherwin Williams and Behr announce the colors they believe will be making the biggest splash in homes across the US. 2017 is no different, and this year there are a wide range of hues – from summery yellow to rich purple – being celebrated by paint professionals.

Dunn-Edwards

The primary paint that we use at Richard Stewart Painting is Dunn-Edwards. Dunn-Edwards has been the leading paint manufacturer in the Southwestern states since 1952. To see what they believe is “trending today,” you can visit the color and inspiration section of their website. The page showcases 158 different trending colors, from blue to beige.

Pantone

Of course, the go-to source for paint inspiration is Pantone, and their 2017 color choice is quite a bold one. The company named this year’s favored hue “Greenery” and this grassy green shade is one that will truly bring the feelings of the outdoors inside.

Sherwin Williams

Sherwin Williams took quite the opposite route when deciding upon their color choice for 2017, opting for a deep neutral called “Poised Taupe”. A lovely color for homeowners that have grown tired of the everything-gray trend, but still aren’t sure that beige is their neutral of choice, Houzz contributor Jennifer Ott calls taupe the perfect compromise between warm and cool.

Behr

Instead of naming just one color their favorite this year, Behr has taken quite a different approach, breaking down 2017s top colors into three different categories: Comfortable, Composed and Confident.

From muted blues and pinks to rich magentas and reds, the company has laid out colors that will accentuate the style of every homeowner. All you have to do is decide which trend you’d like to follow!

With all these colors to choose from – and the warm spring weather drawing nearer and nearer – homeowners throughout the Los Angeles area are getting the itch to start repainting both the interiors and exteriors of their homes. And with so many trendy paint colors to choose from, many find themselves in need of some guidance.
