beautitone reveals its 2023 colour
of the year, 'moments'

BeautiTone, the number one Canadian-made
and owned retail paint brand, reveals its 2023
Colour of the Year, ‘Moments’ - a calming,
shaded blue with an influence of green that
brings a fresh perspective to modern interiors
and acts as a canvas for the moments ahead.
“‘Moments’ is reflective of Canadians’
continued desire for stability and comfort
as we focus on moving forward in our daily
lives,” said Darryl Allen, Creative Manager,
BeautiTone Paint and Home Products.
“Evoking feelings that are nostalgic and
hopeful, this reliable hue brings a renewed
appreciation for our ability to create lasting,
meaningful moments in spite of adversity.”
New for 2023, ‘Moments’ is at the centre of
two thoughtfully curated 2023 Colour Trends
palettes that are motivated by nature and
wellbeing. The two palettes emit different
energies, as Canadians create memories in
their own unique ways.
Through 11 inviting colours, both
palettes simultaneously capture nuances of
reflection and transformation, while providing
Canadians with two distinctly different ways
to design the perfect space for their life’s own
moments.
