What’s the big deal with top trending colours? I’ve been doing a lot of talking about colour lately (two Decorex Shows and a House & Garden show will do that to you!)! I’ve realised that more and more, people want the colour process simplified.  People want guidance and inspiration so they can make their colour choices with confidence. We give you these top ten trending colours so you can walk away 100% happy with your results.

Often when people start researching what colours to choose to redecorate a particular room (or their entire house!) they look at all the amazing colour trends and can become a bit overwhelmed.  That’s why we’ve set out to simplify the top ten trending colours from Plascon. We’ve based our choices on what colours are tinted most often (genius, I know!).

Here’s the breakdown of the top ten trending colours. We’ve also included loads of visual inspiration to help you make that all-important colour choice!

Silver (38)

Silver (38) is a versatile, mid-tone grey taken from Plascon’s timeless Essential Collection.

For interior spaces, Silver contrasts wonderfully with bright pops of colour but stands equally strong as a clean and calming neutral.

Silver is also a strong contender for exterior walls and couples powerfully with darker colours such as Bovine (47) or Dark Onyx (42).

Mandarin Tusk (49)

[gap height=”50px”]

This colour is the ultimate neutral and never seems to go out of style.

It can stand alone and deliver a softer tone than the above grey, or be paired with a darker grey such as Paris Paving (53) for a lovely contrast.

Another timeless neutral that’s consistently found in the top most popular colours by Plascon is Off Shore (50).  Found in the Plascon Essential Collection, this Architectural Grey is often specified as it is a fabulous neutral backdrop for other, brighter colours to play on.  It pairs equally well with pastel shades as well as bright pops of colour (as seen in Plascon’s 2021 High Frequency Colour story).

• Narrow down your paint choices to three or four
• Sample your short list of choices
