Two 2008 Standouts from Benjamin Moore

These Benjamin Moore colors are just a couple that were highlighted as Fall/Winter color trends for 2008 by Color Marketing Group, an international not-for-profit Association of 1,100 Color Designers. We pulled them from the list because they were our two favorites and, we think, they're complimentary to one another. Up top is Rhubarb. Check out the other after the jump...

That's Shaker Gray above. Where Rhubarb is a jolt, Shaker Gray is calm. But we think both Benjamin Moore colors could work well in tandem. Take a cue from that Jacobsen Egg Chair pictured: it's similar in color to Shaker Gray and it looks terrific against the bright Rhubarb backdrop. Both colors are saturated, so beware. These colors are taken from two broader trends identified by Color Marketing Group: Rhubarb is from the Super Reds and Oranges family, Shaker Gray is from the Fresh New Grays family.

That's a great color. I wonder how it'd look in my front-entrance hall/foyer? The entry is tiny, but opens up at the back.

Wow, I'm excited that is almost my exact color palette in my living and dining rooms, although I have some other colors mixed in as well.

I used "Rockport Gray" from Benjamin Moore on my walls. Its a perfect color, becuase it picks up all shades of blue, green and red. Of course it works great with black, white and wood as well.

I used "Rockport Gray" from Benjamin Moore on my walls. It is an ideal wall color because it picks up all shades of blue, green, and red. Plus it looks great with black, white, and wood as well.
