21 New Colors in Three Paint Color Categories

According to Benjamin Moore, each of those 21 paint colors for 2008 home decor falls into one of these three color categories:

"Organic Comforts"

"Pure Opulence"

"Modern Tranquility"

According to Benjamin Moore, all of the colors in their 2008 palette are compatible with each other, allowing for great diversity and personalization in 2008 home decor interior decorating and re-decorating. Which 2008 colors you choose, and how you mix and match them is a completely personal choice. Some colors may work better with existing furnishings, for example.

Each of these color moods has its own 2008 home decor colors. Let's explore each one separately.

"Organic Comforts" by Benjamin Moore

"Organic Comforts" are a 2008 color group for home decor that continues the 2007 trend of blurring the walls between home interiors and the great outdoors. Create garden-like atmospheres, natural living spaces, and bring the hues from outside your windows to the inside with these 2008 interior decor choices.

The Benjamin Moore interior paints that fit into this color category are:
"Pure Opulence" by Benjamin Moore

The jewel-like tones in the "Pure Opulence" home decor palette continues the home decor trend of seeking inspiration from exotic far off places, and images from Bollywood. Except in this 2008 color palette for home interiors, the tones have been taken down about three notches and are not as bold.

Home interiors that need a little livening up in 2008 will do well with one or two of these color choices:

Aegean Teal - A powdery sea-like blue
Cherokee Brick - A pinkish brick color, if it the brick was shiny and new
Ferret Brown - A very warm, coffee brown
French Violet - A warm bluish violet, subdued enough for both men and women
Rockport Gray - The color of a misty morning by the seashore

"Modern Tranquility" by Benjamin Moore

The "Modern Tranquility" 2008 color family takes the essence of organic comforts one step further, into an almost dream-like state of hues. This color palette also offers a wide array of peaceful and extremely livable neutrals to complement other 2008 home interior colors. See Image 4 for samples from this 2008 color trend palette.

Pick one or two of your favorite new 2008 paint colors for your home decor and then add the neutrals.
