Live on the KBISNeXT Stage!

Color creates emotion, positive or negative, and at no time is this more apparent than when Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams and many others announce their COTY or Color of the Year. In response, designers take to the streets - or at least to Facebook, Pinterest or their blogs - to voice their opinions, share their inspiration and generally to embrace or dismiss the current year's choice. Our panel of color experts, moderated by color guru Maria Killam, explores the emotional impact of color, the importance of color trends and why color is relative to everything that surrounds it. Take away tips and tricks on selecting and manipulating color schemes in the kitchen, the bath and beyond.
