One of the most anticipated color of the year announcements has finally been released: Benjamin Moore has selected Raspberry Blush as its 2023 shade. According to the brand, the hue is a saturated red-orange that was inspired by an artist's desire to communicate through color, shape, and sound.

With pink undertones, the vivacious coral shade will add an air of boldness to any space. "People are ready to bring color back into the home, taking a step outside their color comfort zones," said Andrea Magno, color marketing and development director at Benjamin Moore in a press release. "Raspberry Blush 2008-30 and the Color Trends 2023 palette empower the use of statement colors that deliver delight and personality, while transforming rooms for incredible results."
