Welcome Paint Lovers!
I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve & that your new year is coming along swimmingly!
I’ve been having a fun time relaxing, organizing and planning out projects. I even got to a little painting today – wahoo!
While vegging on my computer I’ve had a fun time checking out more of the 2012 Color Trends for 2012. If you missed my post about Pantone’s color choice for 2012 you can check it out here.
If you’ve got painting in your future for 2012 maybe you’ll find some inspiration too.
Benjamin Moore’s Top Pick for 2012 is Wythe Blue.
I gotta say I LOVE this shade of blue. It reminds me of the shade we did in our master bedroom last year.
Behr’s top picks are a mix of vibrant and calming shades. Here are a few from their palettes.
Prairie Poppy Reboot
Serengenti Dust Minty Frosting
Sherwin Williams showcases neutrals, reds, blues and greens for 2012. Here are a few of the ones that popped out at me. You can see all of them here.
Believable Buff Universal Khaki Fabulous Grape
Undercool Lagoon Cocoon
So what do you think? They seem like a lot of the same tones as last years trends, just deeper and brighter.
So what have you been painting??? Anything in these shades?
Power of Paint Party Rules:
#1… This is a PAINT party… so pretty please, link-up only paint related projects. I HATE deleting!
#2… Please put my nifty POPP button (you can find it up in my menu bar’s BUTTONS) in your blog post or a link back to this party somewhere on your blog… that way others from your blog can check out all the paint projects too.
#3… Share the Love… visit the other paint pals.

Happy New Year1 I think Wythe Blue is for me! Thanks for hosting.
Also…I’m doing a farmhouse kitchen with a checked floor, butcher block counters and green distressed cabinets….Do you have a suggestion for wall colors….the only thing I can think of is a shade of yellow…..
Michell ~ Sherwin Williams had a really pretty yellow in their neutrals collection. You can check it out here… http://www.sherwin-williams.com/pro/paint_colors/explore/color/SW6689_overjoy/ and see other variations of the shade too.
