Benjamin Moore Designer Classics are Colours You Can Trust

Take a good look at the colours in the newly-expanded Designer Classics colours. You’ll notice that there is a richness about them, an elegance that sets them apart from the simpler colours that are in vogue today.

The richness is the result of sophisticated blending techniques used in the production of each colour. On first viewing, Designer Classic colours may appear to be bright; but study them, live with them, and you will begin to notice, and appreciate, neutral undertones which enable them to blend into any environment, style or space, indoors or outdoors.

This unique property allows a palette of Designer Classics colours to be rich and saturated and yet not appear garish or overpowering on the wall. Now, it’s possible to let yourself go and make bold colour choices. Rather than cling to the safety of off-white or light tones the home decorator can select stronger colours, knowing that the sophisticated Designer Classic undertones will enable them to blend and meld better with an existing environment. It often happens, when working with simpler colours, that what you see and like on the chip becomes unbearably strong as part of a room treatment. You won’t have this problem with Designer Classic colours – their multidimensional nature absorbs and, in a way, refracts light. This ability to process light means that strong colours, even when applied to a large surface, appear warm, soft and velvety rather than bright and intrusive.

When I use the word 'unique' for Designer Classics colours I really mean it. You could ask a paint store to match a Designer Classics colour chip, and get something that looks good in the can. On the wall, however, it will lack the subtlety and sophistication of the original. This is because Benjamin Moore develops and manufactures its own colourants and bases. It is the interaction of light with these ingredients that creates the unique quality of Designer Classics colours.

In use, Designer Classics colours become unique by adapting to the environment in which they are used. The way the colours are seen will be influenced by lighting, surrounding textures, patterns and materials, making them a true reflection of the rooms in which they are used. Outdoors, colours will react to changes in season and the time of day. For this reason a palette derived from Designer Classics colours can be different for every person using it, since the way the colours are seen depends on interaction with surrounding design elements.

For people who like to design their own interiors, Designer Classics are a wise choice. Because every colour will balance the room and fit into it well, they are more likely to ‘get it right’ the first time, less disappointment. Designer Classics colours have a history: they are ‘tried, tested, and true’. They are favourites with people who are in the know – the first choice of professional designers as well as homeowners. They are tasteful, versatile, sophisticated, adaptable, and they have staying power. In short, Designer Classics are colours that you can trust.
