We designer types tend to use the Benjamin Moore paint when we are specifying paint colors. Their paint has more depth of color than other brands and covers very well.

Doty distills all these wacky, out there on the movement patterns of colors usable for real life. Horn analysis identifies the colors that will be popular in everything from cars to appliances accessories Home and interior design.
Well
Here is the news:
According to Benjamin Moore Color Pulse 2009, there are four color trends main to be dominant in our environment next year and beyond.
Raw: Horn says this palette is derived from the push minimalism, pairing life reduced to its most authentic. Horn said this palette is derived from raw wood, concrete blocks and other "make-do" materials and includes shades of white, sand and gray.
Benjamin Moore "Raw" colors: Chantilly Lace OC-65, Mascarpone AF-20 Winds Tucson Collector's Item AF-45 Fossil AF-65 Frappe AF-85 AF-95 Hush, jute AF-80, 1024, Sterling 1591, steel wool Storm AF-700, 2121-20, 2121-10 Gray
Urban Silence Horn said this group of colors reflects the changing boundaries between life in the city and life outside the city. "This the trees become houses and houses become trees, "she said.
In more urban buildings incorporate rooftop gardens and shipping containers are converted into living spaces, the city becomes softer, more livable. Horn said this palette reflects these changes by mixing the gray tones of urban life with bright colors like green, organic, rust and terra cotta.
Benzoin Moore "Urban Silence" colors: gray shadow 2125-40, Lapland AF-410 yellow tone 370, Wasabi AF-430, Winding Vines 532 Old Gold 167 Gold 301 Glen Ridge, rattan AF-375, 999 Rustic Taupe, Abbey Brown 1225, bronze metallic bronze-30 (Studio Finish color), copper metal copper-40 (Studio Finish color)
Simplexity: Understanding This color palette, think of the pixels that make up a computer screen: thousands of tiny dots in different colors that come together to form a everything. These are colors that have more to them than meets the eye.
"The colors here are very complex, they have great depth to them, but they are easy to use, so that some of the simplicity of this "Horn said. For example, she says, think of a color that looks black, but it is really purple. "It is almost black, but it has a blue background and red continue to be done and it just has a rich texture and a rich landscape, and how light it hits, you start to see the nuances of how those colors flip underneath. "
"Moore Benajamin of Simplexity" colors: Thunder AF-685, AF-395 Meditation, Amsterdam AF-550 Carob AF-160, Caponata AF-650, Merlot Red 2006-10, 2085-10 Red Arroyo, dry mustard 2158-10, 2068 Majestic Purple – 10, Hidden Falls 714, butter Yam AF-230, 1546 Gargoyle
Private Identity: Identity "Private" palette Horn said she and the color trends expert others were thinking about how we express our individuality in such an overwhelming world population. Here, the colors are bright, bold and unexpected.
"You are your own person so that you will put together a color personal, "said Horn." You could do a bright red mixed with a powder blue and put a gold medal bold against it. So you have this contrast of very bright colors and then a very light color and gives it an unexpected twist. "
Benjamin Moore "identity Private Colors include: Desert Rose 2094-50, Mango Punch 154 perennial 405, Pacific Palisades 762, Tricycle Red 2000-20, 2079-20 Blushing Red, Thunderbird 675, Lucerne AF-530, Fire and Ice 1329, satin black (very shiny) 2131-10, Silver Metallic Silver-20 (Studio Finish), Gold Metallic Gold-10 (Studio Finish)
(The symbols after the colors listed above indicate their collection, while those with an AF mean they are part of the affinity group colors mean OC Off-White Colors and those with numbers are in their regular group of classic colors).
Do not know where to start? What history colors to use?
I think you can use colors that are consistent with the geography in which you live, architecture your home and most of all personal choices. If you live on the 28th floor of a condo overlooking a mountain high and you overlook a river … Its all about the point of view. So keep your colors to a dull thud. The color palette of RAW can be a good choice for you. If you live in a gray climate and you want color, rich color palette SIMPLEXITY may be the right choice for you.
I think the real trend is personalization. People are tired others telling them what is good for their home. When choosing colors that reflect the color looks good on you. What do you like to wear? This that you want to feel when you walk in the door? Colour evokes a sense of challenge.
You can buy a sample of the color you want and use of paint on the theme "powerful council." It is a thin plastic sheets 2×2 ribbed material that will not warp when painted. You can get it at most paint stores, Benjamin Moore. See what the color looks like night and during the day, before painting the room whole.
More importantly, be bold – it's only paint. You can easily re-do a bit of money.
Good painting!
