“Instead of the cool blues, grays, and whites popular in 2015, the 2016 color forecasts show a slight shift into warmer blues, greens, grays, and creamy whites.
Midtone blues, greens, and grays with a slight hint of warmth, like Benjamin Moore Sea Pine, used in this space, are predicted to be popular. Transitional colors with a balanced mix of warm and cool undertones are expected to trend throughout the year.”
Benjamin Moore’s Sea Pine is a great transitional paint color, a warm lighter gray/blue with a more grayish/ murky tinge. This paint color goes well combined with white trim, white painted wooden furnishings and gray tiled floors. A cool coastal color palette reminiscent of a beautiful beach landscape on a cloudy day.

In addition to Sea Pine, more transitional blues thought to be popular in 2016 include Sherwin-Williams Aqua-Sphere and Behr Celadon.
