Benjamin Moore’s Colour of the Year 2023
October 18, 2022
The post-pandemic march away from safe greys, beiges and neutrals continues with the announcement of Benjamin Moore’s Colour of the Year 2023 – Raspberry Blush is a vivacious shade of coral tinged with pink, a red-orange that screams electric optimism and sultry sunsets.
Punchy and charismatic, it’s a great shade for those looking to experiment with a bolder interior schemes, and perfect for one of the Good Homes team’s favourite autumn-winter 2022 interior design trends – colour drenching.

Benjamin Moore’s Colour of the Year 2023: Raspberry Blush 2008-30
‘We’ve had colours that are on the cooler side of the colour wheel for a number of years,’ says Helen Shaw, colour marketing and development director at Benjamin Moore, ‘and now we’re really starting to see a shift to the warmer colours.’
To commemorate the Colour of the Year 2023, Benjamin Moore has gone so far as to enlist electro-funk duo Chromeo to create a new track called Raspberry Blush, so that you can not only see this fabulous hue, you can listen to it, too (it’s available on Spotify).
