WHERE DO COLOR TRENDS COME FROM?
That's the question our customers ask us. Our answer: everywhere. This year, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at exactly how we created the PPG The Voice of Color® 2019 Color Trends.
Think Outside The Can
The car you drive, the cell phone you use and the airplane you fly in may all feature PPG colors. We consider color styles from multiple industries, not just paint.
Our color trends aren't just limited to your home because the colors you love aren't just limited to your home.

Discover Your Themes
Did you know gray was the most popular color during the recent economic recession? It's because we were feeling gray as a country and our color choices reflected our emotions.
Color reflects more than light. It reflects cultural changes and sociological shifts.
Color Experts from across multiple industries discuss and debate what will become popular in the year to come.
2019 Color Trends
PPG's color stylists collaborated to form the overarching idea behind the four new palettes – setting the tone for the entire year ahead.
