Sam Lutz • August 21, 2018
Every year has its popular colors. Some years, celadon green is everyone’s darling, while other years feature smoky ultraviolet on center stage. Every color eventually gets its turn and then waits in the wings until its turn comes around again, but some have the staying power necessary to become classics. Following are five paint colors that have evolved from passing fancies into tried-and-true traditions that never go out of style.
Lemon Yellow
Lemon yellow is a sunny and happy color that has earned the right to be considered a classic in any home environment. It got its start in kitchens, and even though the all-white kitchen has been a mainstay of trendsetters for the past decade or so, lemon yellow hasn’t been dethroned. In fact, it’s evolved beyond the kitchen and is now regularly seen in all parts of the home.
Robin’s Egg Blue
It didn’t take long for this versatile shade of blue to achieve classic status in the home decor world. It’s ideal as the main player in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms and can also be used to highlight trim and on accent walls.
Eggshell White
Eggshell white is a quintessential neutral that provides the perfect backdrop for any home decor palette. You can layer it with other shades of white for a minimalist look or add color in keeping with this year’s trend toward brighter interior spaces.
Burnt Sienna
Burnt sienna is everyone’s favorite neutral that adds an instant warm glow to any indoor environment. It pairs well with traditional warm color palettes as well as provides good contrast to cool tones such as ice blue and frosted yellow.
Classic Gray
Classic gray is a muted tone that transforms any room into a soothing, tranquil environment. It’s especially good for use in bedrooms and also works well in general living spaces.
