COLOR OF THE YEAR


In what’s now a yearly tradition, paint manufacturers from around the world announce their Color of the Year selections to established designers and curious minds alike. These colors serve as a moment to reflect on the previous year, but also look forward to the trends and exciting designs that will come in the year ahead. Thanks to this custom color palette, you can now use these colors inside of Vectorworks.
