It's always exciting seeing what the big paint companies forecast for the coming year!
​Well wait for it, drum roll please...…  here it is... October Mist CC550,
​Benjamin Moore's Color of the year for 2022!

As people are turning towards more earth friendly products & manufacturers are creating more and more sustainable items, I think this colour is right on with the times.
Just look at how many people purchased plants at the start of the pandemic!
Bamboo furniture is hot, sustainable, strong & beautiful.

Here's a better photo of October Mist CC 550 in a bedroom, paired with their soft lilac bedding, similar to Hint of Violet 2114-60.  I must say, I'm still a little hesitant specifying it to my clients as we still strongly remember what was hot 15 years ago.

A few of the colours I am fond of from their 2022 collection are: a yummy dark ivory (almost beige) called Collectors item, , a dark Navy blue called Mysterious (love that name) and a softer, pretty, green blue called Smoky green.   ​ I think they all look lovely together.

I hear from High Point Market in North Carolina, that beiges are back - not sure how I feel about that!
So, tell me, are you a fan of these 'new' 2022 colors by Benjamin Moore?  I'd love to hear!
