Color Watch 

Blue continues to demand attention and influence color, its classic nature and ability to offer a stable presence is keeping it in the forefront of design.  Greens have also been influenced by blue with aqua’s and teals still leading the march, while lighter and brighter greens like mint and emerald are moving into the spotlight.  Even purples have been influenced by blue, with periwinkle being paired with oranges and yellows, making a colorful trio.  Red and oranges seem to be inseparable, with both being combined for exciting corals and bright orangey-pinks along with sophisticated home grown reds.  Yellow has a split personality, bright yellows infused with orange at one end and very soft pale tones at the other.  We are watching as warmer browns and charcoals are emerging as the neutral of choice.  Good bye grey?  Stay tuned…. 

Not sure what color to select? 

Diamond Vogel® offers two great ways to preview color.  Color Sampler is a quart sized sample that helps you test color before you buy.  There is no better way to try a color than to paint out a sample in the space, so you can see it with your own furniture, lighting and accessories.  You can also try testing out color in our Envision software found at diamondvogel.com/envision.  Upload a photo of your project and visualize any of our colors before you paint, it is just that easy!  Stop by your nearest Diamond Vogel Paint Store to find the perfect color for your project.
