2020 Colour of the Year! + The Best Paint Finishes for Your Home

Posted by on

Can you believe it’s almost February already?  Before you know it, Spring will be here and reno season will be underway.  So I thought to prepare you, I’d give you six whole home paint colour palettes featuring Sherwin-Williams' and Benjamin Moore's  2020 Colour of the Year ....AND let you know what the best paint finishes are for your home and where you should use them.

To help me out, I'll be interviewing Tyrone Debrouwer of WOW 1 Day Painting.  Tyrone's team painted my home last year and I was super impressed with the results, so I've invited him to talk about the most common paint finishes for your home and which ones to use where. More on 2020's paint colour of the year in a moment (see below).


Watch this video if you'd like to know the best paint finishes for your home.
P.S. Watch until the end for some funny bloopers :)

Now for the 2020 Colour of the Year!  Since Sherwin-Williams & Benjamin Moore are two of my favourite paint companies, I'll be referencing each company's colour of the year below along with three whole home paint palettes for both.  Feel free to use these throughout your home or check out my Online Paint Consult service if you'd like me to create a personalized paint scheme for your home. 

 

And now, without further ado.....Sherwin-Williams' 2020 Colour of the Year is Naval

 

Naval brings navy out of its comfort zone to usher in an empowering new year and fresh decade of change. This deep shade evokes a prominent sense of confidence that fuses timeless colour with a fresh mix of natural materials and textures that bring navy blue into a new era (Sherwin-Williams).

 

I personally LOVE this colour and was so happy to see it as this year's colour of the year.  Here are a few whole home paint colour palettes I put together featuring Naval.

Alrighty, now that we have a handle on Naval, let's check out Benjamin Moore.  Benjamin Moore's 2020 Colour of the Year is First Light.

 

First Light is a soft, rosy hue blooming with potential. Benjamin Moore calls it the backdrop for a bright new decade. A modern paint colour that combines optimism with understatement (Benjamin Moore).

 

Check out these whole home paint schemes I created featuring this beautiful colour below.

  • I am ahead of my time. We did a whole house redo last year. We painted out front door Naval. Everyone raves about the color. On the interior we painted our bedroom and my study Indigo Batik by Sherwin Williams also. It is almost the same color as Naval just not as bright, if a color that dark can be bright. Love them both.
