Pantone believes that colours like blue and oranges add liveliness to a space. Blue as a dominant colour with pops of orange brings warmth. You can opt for these colours to make your space a welcoming one.

Pantone says that food-inspired shades like Celery and various shades of berry-purple combined with eggshell-blue brings freshness to a space. Opt for these colours if you wish to have a neutral backdrop.

Grey is still a good choice for many interiors, not just on the walls but also as furniture pieces.

Lime-greens, candy pinks and brilliant blues are great colours that you can play around with if you wish to bring out the child in you.

You can choose muted lavenders combined with rich purples for a tranquil resort-like feel.

You can go for earthy shades that you see in everyday living as these hues work well with greys and neutrals. Pair them with fresh florals and rustic accents to bring a sense of elegance.

Shades like almond, beige and cognac are also popular and are set to become fashionable colours. If you like brown, you can experiment with these colours.

Teal is a classic that works with almost any style, from traditional to eclectic. It offers the right blend of sophistication and sass.

Mustard is also a colour to look out for. If you are not too comfortable painting the entire room in this single colour, you can use it for an accent wall.

These were some of the trending colours that you ought to take note of. Although these colour palettes are trend predictions, ultimately choosing the perfect palette comes down to what you like best. Hope you will be inspired to give the walls of your home a new look!

And we're going to do this by introducing you to colours which wouldn't normally find lying around. But when you do, you'll know what to do with it! So here we go.

Sea-foam green
Imagine a light green reminiscent of the watery foam that forms over a clear sea, with a touch of grey to ground it. The lightness in the colour is ideal to brighten up most spaces, especially those where you'd like to create a calming or relaxing scene. Try combining this unconventional shade with classic shades, like a blue-black.

A green-blue hue
An opulent and mysterious green-blue hue with more blue than green. This is the kind of blue that reminds us of mythical creatures like the mermaids, and urges us to ditch our mobile phones and embrace the colours that are around us. As an interior paint, It can be used almost anywhere if mixed with warm metallic tones, deep rich tones, or simply whites and creams. If you don't want to go all the way, then there's a solution for that too. Get your side table or simply your front door painted in this striking shade and contrast it with a neutral room.

Green with a touch of blue
Now this is an invigorating colour that's obviously more green than blue, and is inspired by the oceanside. And just like the oceanside, it works as a sweet reminder to take a breath and leave your troubles outside. And to take this emotion to its most effective high, try painting your entryway in this colour, so that all the troubles you leave behind will be left on the doormat and you'll enter like a breath of fresh air.

A honey-comb inspired orange
A milder orange that takes everything which makes orange a fun, vibrant colour to look at but adds a touch of subtlety to it too. Good use of it can cause it to radiate warmth and comfort and thus make any living space brighter. Don't use it too much as it will become an overload on the senses. Simply see it as a splash of colour to a wall-shelf or maybe a door. Or you could even use it as a backdrop for a strong piece of art, or for a more interesting contrast, against fresh, green plants.

So there you have it. Get ready to excite, inspire, and maybe even make some of your neighbours jealous.

Here's a quick lowdown on what's on everyone's minds.

Ultra Violet
This variant of the colour purple is expected to ignite trends and give shape to a lot of beautiful ideas for a large number of industries. You might already have seen violet used in the marketing of premium, higher-priced products or services. And Ultra Violet is the pinnacle of that. Violet has always been seen to represent the infinite creativity as well as spirituality of the collective mind, and because violet lies between red and blue, its mysticism and integrity comes from its blue and the passion and strength comes from red.

Grey
While Ultra-Violet might grab attention with its natural, passionate allure - this next shade is made more for a calming effect. A shade that comes into being when soft grey, blue and the green of a lush field come together, the amiability of the shade means that it can be used for both exterior and interior projects. What this also means is that it works well in homes, schools, offices, and especially hospitals where the aim of the good designer is to create a space that calms, but does not create an ugly 'hospital' vibe. We can also see it being used in spas and other spaces where relaxation and rejuvenation is the sought after emotion.

Red
This is a red infused with more passion than it has seen before. It is made of a very strong red garnished with a hint of orange, with a slightly muddy undertone. Its mere vibrancy demands attention, but, as in all great paint colours, the viewer will always be more than happy to oblige. Any other colour vying for your attention in the same space will just fall flat. That's why its proper use requires that it be paired up with slightly more subdued paint colours.

So you're now well-equipped to do two things - paint up your house in the month's cool paint colours, and begin an interesting conversation over the dinner table. Good luck!
