2020COLOURTRENDS Move over minimalist white and industrial charcoal grey, pastels are back for 2020. Paint company Benjamin Moore has named a pale pink its 2020 colour of the year. “First Light,” meant to evoke the barely there pink that accompanies the sunrise, is said to be “blooming with potential.” On its own, or paired with soft greens and blues like “Crystalline” and

“Windmill Wings,” the colour of the year is both feminine and modern. Another sunrise-inspired colour on the list is the pale yellow “Golden Straw.” If pastels aren’t for you – never fear! – Benjamin Moore also included darker hues such as “Cushing

Green” and the sapphire-like “Blue Danube.” Plus, there are several whites and greys on the list – because there’s nothing like a classic neutral wall! Check out colours

“White Heron,” “Thunder ” and “Oxford Grey” for a more timeless look.
