Each year Benjamin Moore releases their best-sellers and colors of the year, which are often delightfully fun and surprising. 2017's was no exception, showcasing a fabulous lineup of Benjamin Moore paint colors: Shadow 2117-30, a rich, eggplant purple that adds just the right amount of mystery. Of the shade, Benjamin Moore's creative director Ellen O'Neill said: “It ebbs and flows with its surroundings, and light brings it to life. Rich, royal amethyst can fade into the soft lilac-gray of distant mountains or morph into lustrous coal. Indulge your mysterious side. Let Shadow set the mood.”

For those who may find the shade too daring and exotic to devote an entire room to, O'Neill offered: "It’s all about the proportion. You could use Shadow over the mantel with a neutral color on the rest of the walls. Or it would be gorgeous as a trim." Shadow is a dramatic departure from the Benjamin Moore's 2016 shade, Simply White. Just as the name declares, this Benjamin Moore paint color is a no-nonsense, minimalist white that "is a warm white, and felt to us the cleanest and the most versatile. It looked fresh with a warm palette or a cool palette," she said.

Choosing the right shade for your room can be tough with the limitless options and wide variety of Benjamin Moore paint colors. Shadow and Simply White are great choices, but if royal purple or soft white aren't your thing, we've asked the experts at Benjamin Moore for their top 10 best-selling paint colors of 2017 to inspire your next room makeover.
