Emily Morrow Finkell Names Matte Black the Color of 2018

Dalton GA, Jan 19, 2018 – Design trend expert Emily Morrow Finkell, CEO and founder of Emily Morrow Home, announced at the recent CCA Global National Convention in Dallas that the 2018 color trend of the year is matte black.

It is the new black that is garnering favored status on everything from as a top seller on everything from Apple iPhones and BMWs to home hardware and appliances like the La Cornue Ranges.

Finkell explains, “Plaster, chalky or matte finishes have been working their way into the interiors world gradually. First, we saw introductions of ‘plastery white’ vases and vessels at the various interior design and home furnishings shows in Europe and the U.S., matte black automotive paints in luxury sports cars and then black in virtually every category one can imagine...so when you pair two rather significant trends, what do you get? A mega trend that takes flight and has longevity in the marketplace. “
