Black painted office space

Color of the Year season is well and truly upon us in the world of interior design, a time when we lean into the expertise of color specialists for their predictions on the shades that will dominate color trends in the coming months. Behr is the latest esteemed paint company to announce its forecast, confirming ‘Cracked Pepper’ as the hue to take pride of place as 2024’s Color of the Year. 

Cracked Pepper is described as a ‘versatile soft black’, designed to promote the comforting effects dark colors can evoke in the home, as well as its ability to make a sophisticated statement. ‘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 Color and Creative Services at Behr Paint Company.
