Benjamin Moore: Paint Company Names 'Simply White' its 2016 Color of the Year


 

Montvale, N.J. — Oct. 7, 2015 — Benjamin Moore, the paint, color, and coatings brand, announced its highly anticipated 2016 Color of the Year: Simply White OC-117. The company also unveiled Color Trends 2016, a corresponding palette of 23 colors to illustrate how white works within the color spectrum.

“The color white is transcendent, powerful, and polarizing – it is either taken for granted or obsessed over,” said Ellen O’Neill, Benjamin Moore creative director. “White is not just a design trend, it is a design essential. The popularity of white, the necessity of white, the mystique of white, is quantifiable in our industry. Of the top 10 best-selling Benjamin Moore colors, variants of white occupy five spots. It was inevitable that we would ultimately recognize white as our Color of the Year.”

The Benjamin Moore Color Studio forecasts color trends after a year of research attending major industry shows around the world, while also taking cues from standouts in architecture, fashion, textiles, home furnishings, and the arts. White transcends style, and is seen in traditional, transitional, and modern interiors. 

The Color Studio arrived at Simply White OC-117 after careful review of the company’s more than 250 white selections. According to the Color Studio, it was the most neutral, level, and constant in the various light sources used in today’s design environments. 

Benjamin Moore Color of the Year & Color Trends 2016 can only be achieved with Benjamin Moore paints.
