Here's a peek at the bold, bright, and sometimes downright wacky colors they're dying to use on a future project.
French Ochre by Benjamin Moore
Spearheading our list is May Harrington of Huff Harrington in Atlanta, Georgia, who has a soft spot for French Ochre. This deep, saturated ochre-like hue from Benjamin Moore offers hints of olive and burnished gold, making it a versatile and grounding neutral. With the right pairings like black, deep browns, golds, or a rich cognac, this color can create a moody and unexpected color moment.
Blackberry by Sherwin-Williams
Micaela Quinton of Copper Sky Design & Remodel, also based in Atlanta, Georgia, is prepared to unleash her inner drama queen with deep plum and raisin colors. Her pick? Sherwin-Williams' Blackberry. These rich, sophisticated shades can add coziness to a space while still imparting a touch of sophistication.
Hot Lips by Benjamin Moore
After a recent manicure, Emilie Munroe of Studio Munroe in San Francisco can't get enough of neon pink, specifically Benjamin Moore's Hot Lips. Used on a ceiling, storage cabinet, or stair rail, this radiant pink can infuse warmth into a space. Perfect for powder rooms and entertainment spaces!
Stone Blue by Farrow & Ball
Katie Lee Jacobs of Katie Lee Interiors based in Westchester, New York, has a thing for Stone Blue by Farrow & Ball. Its brighter and bolder take on blue offers a fresh and eye-catching alternative to more common neutrals.
Evening Blue by Benjamin Moore
Jeanne Barber of Camden Grace Interiors in West Hartford, Connecticut, has a soft spot for Benjamin Moore's Evening Blue. This electric blue would shine brightly on trim or built-ins, adding a pop of color that is hard to ignore.
Brassica by Farrow & Ball
Naïka Andre of NJA Interiors in Connecticut is all about Brassica, a moody lavender from Farrow & Ball. Its unique blend of charm, depth, and drama makes it an ideal choice for adding a touch of personality to any space.

Arizona designer Bari J. Ackerman of Bari J. Designs can't help but dream of using a lilac-pink color mixed with greens or mustard. The result? A vibrant, dynamic space that truly exemplifies maximalism.
