Dunn-Edwards Paints announced their 2017 Color of the Year this week, but this time around the decision was fueled by more than just popular design trends.
The color, "Honey Glow," is a warm golden yellow with brown undertones, which color expert for Dunn-Edwards Sara McLean said in a Tuesday news release is "a great color to make a bold statement in a room." McLean continued, "Honey Glow embodies the trend toward the warming of all colors – from neutrals to non-neutrals. It can pretty much match with everything from earthy, neutral palettes or colors like chocolate, red, gray, green and orange."
Ten percent of sales from Honey Glow paints will go to HoneyLove.org, a nonprofit organization that protects honeybees. The organization encourages urban beekeeping and educates people about making their garden bee friendly by avoiding pesticides, providing water and shelter, and adding pollinator-friendly plants says Dunn-Edwards.
