Ben Moore Paint Color of 2023
When you thought we’d be leaving the bright reds, Ben Moore quickly brought us back with Rasberry Blush. This color is softer, but I felt even BM wasn’t sold on the color. After all, they didn’t even hang the painting back up!
Ben Moore describes the color as follows:
“Never a backdrop, Raspberry Blush is the definition of charismatic color. This unapologetic shade of red-orange had us thinking: bold, bolder, boldest. This sentiment flows through the rest of the palette as we immerse ourselves in hues that make a statement. Inspired by an artist’s desire to communicate through color, shape, and sound, Color Trends 2023 was built to envelop you in vivacious color.”

Sherwin Williams Paint Color For 2023
Sherwin Williams chooses Redend Point for its versatility and calmness.
“Redend Point SW 9081 is a nourishing and intriguing hue, an inviting neutral inspired by our deep care for our communities, connections, and crafts. It is subtle, warm and restorative, suitable in commercial or residential spaces where mind and soul can relax and be refreshed.”
This color reminds me of the shade of lipstick I used to buy for my mom.
It’s called Redend Point SW 9081. It should be called Deadend because it doesn’t go with much.
Suggestion: use it in a guest bedroom if you want to shorten the time your guest stays.
Soft Timeless Greens
Neutral greens such as Sherwin Williams’ 2022 Color of the Year, Evergreen Fog (SW 9310) have a peacefulness that brings calm. Mixed with the wood beams it brings the outdoors in. Notice how all four colors have a soft natural feel.
The direction in 2023 is a shade more mold.
Trending Darker Colors
Tricorn Black is another popular color used in music rooms, entertainment rooms, and offices. It is very dramatic and has a rich, sophisticated vibe. In my experience, we have seen a lot of this color in 2022 and have no reason it won’t still be a popular paint in 2023.
Behr and Sherwin Williams have similar colors for 2023
Cracked Pepper and Blank Canvas are similar to Tri-corn Black and Agreeable Gray. Blank Canvas looks slightly aged yet modern without the sterileness of a brilliant white. It could be a perfect color for exterior brick as well.
Suggestion: incorporate shades of black into furniture and/or windows for maximum effect.
Better Homes & Gardens 2023
What are the odds of both SW and BH&G picking such similar colors?
Better Homes and Gardens describes Canyon Ridge as “infusing energy and comfort into any space.”
It can only be purchased at Walmart.
Adding a vibrant shade of blue to the walls, such as Blue Plate by Sherwin Williams compliments the more moderate wall color.
Canyon Ridge captures elements that you might see during the twilight sky. A mixture of muted orange and pink gives a near-neutral flavor.
The blue works well because it is at the opposite end of the spectrum. This is a
