15 Agosto 2023 - 11:45AM
Today, Behr Paint Company announces its 2024 Colour of the Year,
Cracked Pepper (PPU18-01), a timeless and modern hue that awakens
the senses and exudes confidence on every scale. DIYers, designers
and professionals alike can incorporate Cracked Pepper into their
projects and help transform any space by wrapping the walls to make
a bold statement or adding an accent for a hint of sophistication.
“As we look into 2024, creating a sense of comfort and belonging
will continue to drive design decisions—but now, as life returns to
its more familiar rhythms, it’s time to allow our senses to come
alive,” says Erika Woelfel, Vice President of Colour and Creative
Services at Behr Paint Company. “From heightening the aromas of a
dining room to feeling the softness of a living area, Cracked
Pepper enhances the natural expression in any space.”
New research conducted by Behr Paint1 in the U.S. reveals:
- Fifty-seven per cent say painting a wall a dark(er) colour
gives the room a designer aesthetic.
- Fifty-four per cent say black tones in the home create a new
energy/vibe.
- Three-quarters would consider painting an area or room a dark
colour.
- More than half of Millennials (61 per cent) agree black tones
instantly give the home a fresh look.
- Half of those surveyed agree darker coloured walls create a
sense of comfort in the home.
“We recognize the growing desire for using darker colours
throughout spaces,” says Jodi Allen, Global Chief Marketing Officer
at Behr Paint Company. “Adding a soft black like Cracked Pepper
evokes a sense of confidence and individuality that we want all of
our customers to feel after completing a project.”
The deep and dynamic hue transcends design styles from modern,
classic, casual, retro, and more, while pairing seamlessly with
other colours, finishes, patterns and textures. From homes to
hospitality, and everything in between, Cracked Pepper’s confidence
radiates from any wall it coats, trim it touches, surface it sweeps
or item it’s applied to.
The 2024 Colour of the Year is also featured in the expertly
curated BEHR® Designer Collection palette of 30 best-selling
neutral colours. Created to help DIYers, designers and
professionals choose colour with confidence, the timeless
