Benjamin Moore 2011 Color of the Year

Nov 17, 2016

Benjamin Moore's Vintage Wine is color of the year for 2011.

Benjamin Moore's color designers are forecasting vintage wine as Envision Color 2011's Color of the Year.

The color was first seen on the fashion runways of New York, Paris, and Milan, this rich hue with a deep brown base and a hint of smoky violet is just as magnificent in the home.

As an undertone in many of the latest wood finishes, leathers, and other textiles, vintage wine, and its lighter variations, will make a great paint color pick for many applications over the coming years.

The hype that has surrounded purple the past 2 years still has a lot of traction and color designers from Benjamin Moore agree so strongly that they have forecasted a rich brown based violet to move forward as their 2011 color of the year.

This intense color can be seen in recent updates to fabric collections including Tapestria, Kasmir, Ralph Lauren, Wesco, Kravet, Waverly, Robert Allen, Carole Fabrics, Laura Ashley, Lee Joffa, Fabricut, Trend among others.
