Colours for 2023 according to Architectural Digest

There are nine colours or hues, according to Architectural Digest that is trending for 2023.

1. Terra Rosa - earthy tones, pairing rich terra-cotta with a dusty rose. Part of the brand’s Life in Poetry palette, the colour more than holds its own as a dominant ground, while its muted shade makes it a tasteful, timeless accent to almost any colour palette.

2. Vining Ivy - subtle transition away from the neutral-ish greens that defined 2022, Vining Ivy successfully straddles the line between green and blue by incorporating jewel-like elements.

3. Blank Canvas - neutral, monochrome calm as seen in trending organic modern interiors. Despite the implications of its name, Blank Canvas is more than capable of standing on its own by offering a playful, warmer take on traditional white.

4. Redend Point -sits at the centre of the neutral spectrum and the emerging trend towards energising earth tones that play well with other neutrals.

5.Raspberry Blush -Warm and vivid, it’s designed to create an instant impression in both big or small doses, adding a touch of excitement and happiness to any space.
