Pristine and Honey Bee: A Closer Look [00:00 - 09:21]
Every year Benjamin Moore comes out with the new color of the year along with a Color Trends Palette that consists of 10 supporting colors. While many people are excited to see what is trending, not everyone knows how to utilize these colors. This year we want to distill this information and make it very practical. We will be going through the whole palette in the coming weeks to talk about where to use the colors, why you would use them and how to have success. Last week we talked about White Dove Oc-17 This week we will be talking about Pristine and Honey Bee:
Pristine is a soft warm white with blush undertones, neutral enough that it could be used on a large scale or in multiple rooms. Colorful twist on a classic neutral. Great color to use in a south or east facing room where the warm undertones are amplified to create a warm glowing effect, making a room ultra cozy.
Use In:
- Bedroom: to create a cozy and calming environment.
- Bathroom: make the space feel fresh and sophisticated.
- Entryway: can make a small or narrow space feel larger and more welcoming.
- Could work as a trim color with a strong warm color such as Topaz but for most situations this color may not be neutral enough.
- Use as a main color in your homes color scheme for a warm white that feels fresh rather than dated.
- Pairs well with whites, soft gray blues and taupes.
Honey Bee is a warm and inviting yellow that can add a touch of vibrancy and energy to a space. Great for smaller spaces or an accent color! Yellows in general are pretty polarizing but they can be beautiful when done right. Yellows of this saturation can come off very strong on a large scale so we recommend limiting the application to a small room or accent. If you are looking for a yellow to paint an entire room this could be a great jumping off point, though!
Use In:
- Kids room: Cozy color for a bedroom that offers plenty of whimsy.
- Laundry Room: Add a cheerful color to a space that otherwise feels drab.
- Furniture: Add a pop of color, warmth and personality to a space.
- Trim Color: Perfect color to pair with a whimsical or playful wallpaper that has a complementary or monochromatic or neutral palette.
- Kitchen cabinets: great color to bring in a quaint, sunny, vintage look.
Other yellows to consider if you are sampling:
- Pale Moon
- Hawthorne Yellow
- Windham Cream
