Benjamin Moore Names 2015 Color of the Year

Ever since Pantone's controversy-shrouded appointment of radiant orchid as their official color of 2014, the painting public has been awaiting the next big hue.

A "neutral that's a natural," as the paint company has dubbed it, looks like the beginning of a brights backlash, a ray of light in a sea of moody, charcoal-painted apartments. It really does, as many colors claim, seem to work in any context or with any style of decor. But is all that because it's kind of boring? Check out the full forecast and decide for yourself.
