However, Pantone wasn’t the only organization boasting their #1 color of the year. Paint companies also chimed in. The winners included various shades of purple like Benjamin Moore’s Shadow, PPG’s Violet Verbena, Olympic’s Cloudberry and Glidden’s Byzantine Blue, as well as warm neutral grays like Kelly-Moore’s Kettleman and Sherwin-Williams’ Poised Taupe and finally Dunn-Edwards’ Honey Glow.
