BENJAMIN MOORE ANNOUNCED IT’S 2015 CHOICE FOR
“COLOR OF THE YEAR”
GUILFORD GREEN



I Don’t use much green as the main colors in my home, now, but I did in our first home. And Guilford Green reminds me of a SLIGHTLY LIGHTER VERSION of a color I LOVED and used in our first home…a Laura Ashley color called HEATH GREEN. Maybe that is why it feels a bit 90’s to me. Still as a challenge I like to find a way to make any color work…

WHAT I DO LIKE ABOUT GUILFORD GREEN IS IT’S VERSATILITY.
At first and maybe even second glance…it can read a bit drab…even sad to me. However, there has been so much gray and greige and beige… that it could be refreshing to have a quasi-neutral that has woodsy green color to it…a color that can be an ensemble player and not upstage the other colors…in fact I think it NEEDS colorful friends around…which keep it from being to blah…
HERE ARE SOME COMBINATIONS I LIKE…EACH CREATES ITS OWN UNIQUE LOOK. I SAY…TAKE IT AND RUN WITH IT….

WITH THE DARKS…EDGIER AND CLASSIC…

PRETTY PASTELS….

I AM ALWAYS DRAWN TO THE COASTAL BEACHY PALATTES…..







AND EVERYTHING ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD WITH A PUPPY…

I don’t know, I don’t hate it, but I don’t really like it very much. I doubt I would choose it for my home.
I have to agree…don’t hate it..but not swooning…Hate is such a strong word…especially for a color….but if I moved into a house that was painted this color…I might be inclined to change it…
now…I might actually have to use the “H” word when talking about the Pantone color!
