Paint it B L A C K! {more evidence of the trend}

October 29, 2009 By Amy Beth Cupp

Color Buzz It looks soooooo good to me. But oh-my-gosh it’s so prevalent! Yesterday, I caught a “paint it black” tweet with a Color Buzz blog post link that got me thinking dark – again. Maybe if I blog about it enough, I will get “over it” before I am tempted to paint?!?

When I did the “say it ain’t so” post last week, there were a rush of responses on Twitter from interior designers that I tweet with. Many had done posts about black trim, black paint and decorating in dark. I have added links to their blog posts in the comment section of that post. One such designer suggested deep plum, which I know is an up-and-coming color … but it is just not the same to me. I feel that there is something more traditional about black. Perhaps I will have to go check out Benjamin Moore’s historical color palette… maybe there is a plum that makes my heart sing. Navy perhaps? Oh, I dunno. Boo.
