While we may still cherish these sentiments and mantras, we predict that word art will fall out of favor in the 2020s. Homeowners and designers may focus on designing homes that evoke “Live, Laugh, Love,” rather than spell it out for us. While gray won’t disappear completely in the 2020s, the bland color will likely give way to cheerier colors. And we can see the difference already in the hues selected as Color of the Year. While Benjamin Moore chose Metropolitan, a cool gray, as its 2019 Color of the Year, it opted for First Light, a rosy hue, for its 2020 Color of the Year. The dawn of the new decade will wake up our homes’ color palettes.
