Benjamin Moore Envision 2011 Interior Paint Colors - Brights

Bright colors are rare birds in the Benjamin Moore Envision 2011 interior paint color palette.

Grape Green (2027-40) - The color of grapes the day before they are ripe. The paint color is light but with a bold citrus twist.

Casco Bay (2051-30) - A blue as refreshing as Maine's coastal waters, but not nearly as cold.

Royal Flush (2076-20) - A bright and bold pink to break up an otherwise neutral space.

More common than the brights, there are some cozy dark hues in this wall color 2011 trend set.

Lucerne (AC-530) - A deep blue as magical as the first time you watched Harry Potter. The name even sounds like a spell. The only thing you'll conjure up with this blue paint color is a sense of elegance.

Wrought Iron (2124-10) - A deep neutral, when black is too dark. This color will work in a rustic setting or a modern setting.

Kendall Charcoal (HC-166) If you like the idea of gray, but Wrought Iron is too dark and heavy, consider the lighter Kendall Charcoal. It's not too dark or too light and is the perfect foil for an otherwise light or feminine palette.

Etruscan (AF-355) - One of few truly earthy paint colors from the collection, Etruscan is a caramel melting in your mouth.

Vintage Wine (2116-20) - Drink in Vintage Wine with you eyes, and fall prey to its tricks. Is it a chocolate brown or the color in your wine glass? Combine Etruscan and the Vintage with a creamy white neutral for sophisticated ranch decor.
