1. Benjamin Moore
Metropolitan
"Calm, composed and effortlessly sophisticated, Benjamin
Moore’s Color of the Year 2019, Metropolitan AF-690, exudes glamour, beauty and
balance."
3. Sherwin Williams
Cavern Clay
"A warm terracotta color with ancient, elemental roots,
Cavern Clay SW 7701, is our 2019 Color of the Year. Cavern Clay is a nod to midcentury modern style, but with the soul of the American Southwest, which together creates a desert modern aesthetic.
This warm, earthy hue is both casual and refined. It can be the backdrop of a playful, welcoming dining room or kitchen when paired with bright tiles, warm stone and sculptural greenery. Complementary materials include leather, simple woodgrains and indigenous cacti in contemporary, sleek gardening planters.
Cavern Clay is an easy way to bring the warmth of the outdoors in. Envision beaches, canyons and deserts, and sun-washed late summer afternoons—all of this embodied in one color."
