Benjamin Moore Creative Director Sets Industry Trend By Curating Color Trend 2014 Palette With Harmonious Colors That Are True To Homeowners’ Lives
(MONTVALE, NJ—October 2, 2013) — Benjamin Moore, a unit of Berkshire Hathaway and one of North America’s most respected paint and coatings manufacturers, unveiled today its highly anticipated Color of the Year for 2014 to be “Breath of Fresh Air” (color number 806) as part of its Color Trends 2014 palette. Announced by newly appointed Benjamin Moore Creative Director Ellen O’Neill at the opening of the company’s New York City showroom during Fall Market 2013 for architects and designers, Breath of Fresh Air is a gorgeous, ethereal blue serving as a “new neutral” that is livable and functional.
“We chose Breath of Fresh Air because we were seeing it across several different environments—it’s our new neutral,” said O’Neill. “Our Color of the Year and Color Trends 2014 palette is a direct result of the fresh color cues and pastel trends we’ve seen throughout the home furnishing, fashion and even pop culture landscape.”
For the 2014 Color Trends collection, Benjamin Moore decided to break away from the pack with a collection that is not only rich and enduring, but livable for today’s homeowner or designer as each hue resonates with many different styles. As color rarely exists in isolation, Benjamin Moore designed a palette of 23 colors that not only stand each on their own but also work well in harmony allowing the transitions of spaces and colors to flow seamlessly.
O’Neill added: “We know that color is the ultimate form of personal expression, so we curated this collection to help consumers create beautiful spaces with confidence.”
