Selecting and specifying colors for your project’s finish schedule requires time, effort and vision. Introducing the new BEHR® Color System – an intuitive set of tools designed specifically for architects, designers and specifiers. Organized by whites, grays, neutrals and colors by hue, the BEHR Color System is a one-stop color resource that makes it easy to source any color you envision for your client’s project.
With the new Color System, our goal is to make color selection and specification as smooth as possible for design professionals by providing you the best color tools in the industry when creating color concepts and detailed palettes for commercial and residential projects.
