# [Interior Color Trends for 2020](https://info.neals.com/interior-color-trends)

Posted by [Christina Temple](https://info.neals.com/author/christina-temple) on Tue, Dec 17, 2019

As the year draws to a close, you may be pondering new ways to [refresh your home](https://info.neals.com/homeowners-guide-to-kitchen-remodeling) in the new year. While a [remodeling project](http://neals.com/portfolio/) is certainly worth considering, sometimes even just a fresh color palette can do the trick. Luckily, color experts have done a lot of the legwork for you and have offered up a selection of "Color of the Year" choices to inspire your home decorating in 2020.

![classic blue kitchen design](https://info.neals.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Photos/ColorCabinetry/47015_03b.jpg?width=1042&name=47015_03b.jpg)

Pantone, the world's leading color expert, has selected "Classic Blue" as the 2020 Color of the Year. A straight-forward shade, this color pick can be used in a variety of ways, either as decor or a bold paint choice. This year, Pantone's selection is one of several blue picks. PPG selected a muted blue, "Chinese Porcelain", and Sherwin Williams has chimed in with "Naval", a traditional navy blue.

Blue is a common choice in home design, and these color choices seem to indicate that blue's popularity will only continue into 2020. We have seen blue in use primarily in accent cabinetry, especially kitchen islands, where the punch of color adds trendy character without overpowering the space.

A serene shade with a hint of opulence, it works well with polished marble, gleaming metals, soft leather and sophisticated patterns." |

If blue isn't a color you are interested in, despite its clear popularity, paint brands Behr and Benjamin Moore understand. Rather than looking toward saturated and eye-catching colors, Benjamin Moore selected "First Light" as its color of the year pick. This mature pink straddles the line between a true neutral and a distinctive color, which is great for a bathroom or living room.

A revitalized spirit. A soft, rosy hue blooming with potential. Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year 2020 is the backdrop for a bright new decade." |

[*A pink neutral is a good compliment in this Mt. Lookout bathroom to warm wood and creamy tile.*](https://neals.com/customer-projects/45077-2/)

Behr has selected a pale yellow-green shade, "Back to Nature", as its 2020 color of the year. This outdoors inspired color can be difficult to use, but when paired with white and wood, in keeping with its natural setting, this color can be a subtle statement. We like this one as a casual color choice for an accent cabinet in the kitchen.
