Home Décor Parable To Blank Canvas DC-003

September brings with it a slew of Color of the Year announcements in advance of the New Year, and today’s comes from Behr. For 2023, Behr recently announced that its Color of the Year is Blank Canvas (DC-003), an subtle off-white with complex undertones of brown and gray to make it a true neutral.

Behr Blank Canvas 2023 Color of the Year

 

This year, Behr was looking for a color that reflected a feeling of well-being and relaxation, says Erika Woelfel, Behr’s vice president of color and creative services. After years of uncertainty, they were looking for a way to reflect a sense of renewal. “White is the perfect color for starting fresh,” Woelfel says. “It’s restorative.”

This shade of white complements a wide range of color schemes, adds Sarah Fishburne, director of trend and design at Home Depot. Because of its neutral undertones, it works equally well with pastels as it does with rich greens, blues, and purples; and because it’s slightly off-white, it plays well with black, too, in a way that feels relaxed and not stark.
