In a year marked by a color of the year as vibrant as Ultra-Violet, it seems appropriate to look at some classic paint colors. Don’t get me wrong. Ultra-Violet is great. But not everyone finds purple a realistic color scheme. Because not everyone is ok with Ultra-Violet, let’s take a look at 5 classic paint colors that we just can’t get enough of.

Benjamin Moore’s Guilford Green

Guilford Green was Benjamin Moore’s color of the year in 2015. It has remained popular ever since. It has been a “voice of reason” through 2017’s Greenery craze. And it looks promising for 2018’s era of Ultra-Violet. This cool, classic green that will never go out of style.
