But don't be so quick to discount white. The significant role in its story here is its manifold shades and textures. Whites will be more complex and sophisticated with such color undertones as taupe. They will be matched with dark accents of the deep mahogany woods and black. And there will also be a strong coupling with metals like chrome, copper.
Finishes making a strong impact are pearlescent, translucent and metallic.
And with the numerous colors introduced each year, there is bound to be at least one you can integrate into your existing color scheme that will give it a fresh new look. Whether it's matte, high gloss, pearlescent or any number of textured treatments, visual effects are still crossing the finish line as winners. And Debbie Travis of TV's Painted House echoes the importance of texture in color. With technological advances, homeowners are able to apply color in the form of stucco, cement, concrete. Older homes often need texture to cover imperfections, and newer homes need detailing to reflect a homeowner's personality.
