Since 2015, Boysen has been creating the annual Color Trend. Every year, there are 25 new colors divided in four color palettes.
The color palettes are informed from the different trends seen in the world today on the socio-political, economic, and cultural fronts. First these are identified and analyzed, then colors are brought into discussion for each color palette. The result for each palette are 6 well-curated colors that combine very well with each other. Using 2 or 3 of these colors in any combination can create different atmospheres in your home.
Start with finding the color palette that appeals most to you. Then choose your colors individually, as well as the combination.
