Named by PPG Paint as a probable color of the year, it’s not exactly the black color we’re used to, with that deep darkness to it. It’s a more chalkboard-like shade of black that’s perfect to go bold on your decor while still keeping a modern, classy, and neutral style.

“The Pantone Color of the Year has come to mean so much more than ‘what’s trending’ in the world of design; it’s truly a reflection of what’s needed in our world today.”

Now we can only wait and see what designers and decorators will come up with this whole set of colors for 2018! Either using them by themselves or matching trends, we’re just really excited for what’s still to come!
