I recently attended a seminar put on by Sherwin Williams about trends in paint color for 2014. They have a slew of color experts that are surveyed to predict what types of colors will be trending in the upcoming year.
The palette gravitated towards four distinct groups of colors according to SW.
Not too surprising the theme that gray is the new black was prevalent and cool neutrals that mimic the colors of shadows were forefront.
Some of my favorite from this group are an old standby, Agreeable Gray...

| SW 7029 Agreeable Gray |
and Peppercorn ...
 |
| SW 7674 Peppercorn |
Totally opposite of the cool neutrals trending in the coming year is a group of colors that are bold and considered to evoke "cultural traditions". I can see using these strong colors as accents. My favorites are...
Ablaze
 |
| SW 6870 Ablaze |
Georgian Bay
 |
| SW 6509 Georgia Bay |
 |
| SW 6727 Houseplant |
Steamed Milk
 |
| SW 7554 Steamed Milk |
and Malted Milk
 |
| SW 6057 Malted Milk |
I have 3 more picks that fall into their "fantasy" category!
