The Votes Are In: This Is Your Favorite Color for Spring 2017
Twenty popular hues went head-to-head in our Color Vs. Color competition, but only one can be declared the winner.
The latest edition of Color Vs. Color was unlike any we’ve previously done. We featured more colors than ever before — 20 in four different categories — and since voting opened at the beginning of May, thousands of you have combed through the palettes and selected your favorite shades.
For those who may have missed out on voting or just learning about our battle of the hues, let me explain how this competition works. Collaborating with HGTV.com editors and design experts, I selected 20 on-trend spring colors and grouped them into categories (delicate, dramatic, historic and radiant). Voting opened earlier this month and after three weeks, a winner was chosen by HGTV fans.
Whether you enjoy bright, bold colors (tomato red, cobalt blue), soft neutrals (toasty tan, pink mist) or even historic colors with ties to the past (colonial blue, ash gray), Color Vs. Color featured a wide variety of hues. Spring is all about rebirth and we’re confident these colors will bring new life to any room in your home.
After carefully counting the votes, your favorite color of the season is…
Powder Blue
HGTV fans know what they like. Powder blue was also last spring’s winner, and this popular hue can’t be beat once again. The light shade of blue has a calming effect and works with most color palettes while allowing design elements to take center stage. Take this living room for example, pair powder blue with tan, a darker shade of blue and white to create a fresh and inviting space.
