Pantone has added a curated collection of 315 new colors to their Fashion/Home/Interiors cotton and paper formats.

The PANTONEVIEW home + interiors kit — which includes a comprehensive forecast for 2022 — features 17 individual palettes supported by trend story, correlating imagery, color harmonies, chromatic overviews, and much more. Pantone’s predictions:

  • Traditional architecture might guide us to organic materials and natural hues, even as vivid colors and synthetics shape new interior and exterior experiences.
  • Healthier living and the comforts of simpler pleasures take center stage as does a desire for clarity and a less-is-more approach to design.
  • Sculpted metallics and repunk’d brights break boundaries and embrace technology.

Benjamin Moore’s Color Trends 2021 palette nourishes the spirit with soothing, sunbaked hues — including their top pick, Aegean Teal.
