Benjamin Moore chose Raspberry Blush as its Color of the Year for 2023. The saturated red-orange enlivens our surroundings while awakening our senses with charismatic color. This vivacious color is unapologetic in its boldness as it encourages a confident color statement.
“People are ready to bring color back into the home, taking a step outside their color comfort zones,” says Andrea Magno, color marketing and development director at Benjamin Moore. “Raspberry Blush 2008-30 and the Color Trends 2023 palette empower the use of statement colors that deliver delight and personality while transforming rooms for incredible results.”
To commemorate this year’s selection, Benjamin Moore enlisted renowned electro-funk duo Chromeo to underscore the upbeat and optimistic tone of the palette and the dynamic role color plays in self-expression, much like music. Debuting today, Chromeo’s new song “Raspberry Blush” celebrates the positivity and enjoyment of life that both color and music can influence.
Designers and DIYers alike can experience the Color Trends 2023 palette at events taking place in select cities and explore eight curated playlists on Spotify that reflect the personality of each color and the spirit of the palette.
Leaning into deeply saturated colors with undeniable charisma, the Color Trends 2023 palette celebrates the use of color to influence dramatic transformations.
