"Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2017 Shadow 2117-30"
Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year, Shadow 2117-30, is allusive and enigmatic — a master of ambiance.
“It ebbs and flows with its surroundings, and light brings it to life. Rich, royal amethyst can fade into the soft lilac-grey of distant mountains or morph into lustrous coal. Indulge your mysterious side. Let Shadow set the mood.”
—Ellen O’Neill, Creative Director
What does Shadow 217-30 mean around the clock?
Morning Light
DIAPHANOUS, CHARMING AND INNOCENT Is there any gentler awakening than the breaking light of dawn? It streams through the window and tiptoes across rumpled sheets. Just about anything seems possible as the day awaits.
Afternoon Light
INTERPLAY OF LIGHT AND DARK Intense, luminous, exuberant. As the sun rises in the sky, shadows come to life creating a comple. Crystalline beams of light angle across floors and walls.
Sunset At dusk, reverently called "Magic Hour" by photographers, bright light becomes languid and soft, gradually fading towards cashmere grey. Colors and silhouettes merge as day begins to dissolve into night.
Evening Light
AN OLD MASTER PALETTE Dappled highlights fade to matte. Gilded by candlelight. Violet shadows descend.
