Each year several sources point to the Hot Trends of the Year in paint. From Pantone to Elle Decor you can find lists of colors the experts say are up and coming. This year, Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year is Shadow 2117-30 which is a gorgeous deep misty purple that will find its way to accent walls and decor all over. Shadow is touted as "allusive and enigmatic - a master of ambiance." This is a great color to try where light changes throughout the day because it will create a complex interplay of light and dark with the sun.
