(NC) Out with the old and in with the bold. Rich, daring hues have been quickly invading spaces across North America and are becoming the go-to colours for design professionals, DIYers and home décor aficionados. Bordeaux reds, deep greys and invigorating blues are taking over, which make it safe to say that the bolds are sticking around.

If you're one to always stay on top of the latest trends and have yet to decide how to incorporate the go-to colours of the day into your decorating projects, painting is always an easy and affordable option. When plagued with the age-old question “how bold should I go?” brands like PARA Paints and their colour trend palettes are the perfect solution to help you tackle any paint project.

This year PARA Paints celebrates its 100th anniversary with the eye-catching 2015 Centennial Trend Palettes. One palette, the Mystique, brings together a blend of trend colours and accent hues with the celestial and rich navy blue Spectrolite (PF73) at the forefront. Intended to radiate feelings of serenity and clarity and inspired by the universe, Spectrolite maintains a bold and unspoken elegance.

“If you're set on incorporating a statement colour like Spectrolite into your home and you're not quite ready to take the plunge and paint your entire living room, try it as an accent wall or even paint it on the front door,” says Garry Belfall, senior brand manager at PARA Paints. “The key is to find a small place to start and go from there,” Belfall adds. “With our trend colour palettes as your guide, all you need to do is pick a palette and let the transformations unfold.”
