Behr, Sherwin-Williams, and Benjamin Moore — the brands of reliable and classic interior paint products — have all announced their 2022 color forecast and I am here to help you ring in the New Year with these industry trendsetting colors and styles.
How far is your home’s interior paint from being outdated? The last few years have been all about Greige, Warm Grays, and Transitional Coastal palettes. Well, it’s time to say goodbye to 2021’s Modern Farmhouse colors and hello to the cool coastal and freshly natural 2022 colors of the year.
Sherwin-Williams have chosen Evergreen Fog as their choice color of the year for 2022. Evergreen Fog is a nourishing and sophisticated gray-green hue that is perfect indoors…and outdoors.
Just like its namesake, Evergreen Fog is a chameleon color — sometimes green, at other times gray with just a touch of blue in shadow — subtle enough for both interiors and exteriors. It's versatile and fresh, nourishing and dependable, and it suits a mix of styles, substrates, and spaces.
“Easily hit the refresh button on any space with a simple, sophisticated color that is both calming and composed with just a touch of organic lushness.”
Experience a whole new way of being: MODE. A collection of 40 trend colors from which four unique palettes have been drawn, each color hand-selected to represent Earthy, elemental shades of comfortable interior colors we have all grown to love.
Seems like BEHR was on the same page when they chose the color of the year, Breezeway, a relaxing and uplifting sea glass-inspired green is where a breath of fresh air meets a coat of fresh paint.
Breezeway embodies the physical passageway to spiritual reemergence. From soft moments to adventure that awaits you, the sight of Breezeway will awaken your senses.
“Breezeway naturally harmonizes with shades of white, gray and natural wood tones for effortless style in any room.”
This silvery green shade with cool undertones is a versatile color inspired by the beauty of the earth. Cover your walls with a cool breeze. Breezeway is the color of a dreamy pastel ocean wave as it brushes over a salty beach. The perfect soft splash of fresh color in a clean crisp home with smooth white subway tile accents and brushed brass fixtures.
According to Benjamin Moore October Mist is the color of the Year in 2022, and you can see why now that we’ve looked at Sherwin-Williams and Behr. This gently shaded sage quietly anchors a space, while encouraging individual expression through color.
Make room for creativity. Evoking the silver-green stem of a flower, October Mist creates a canvas for other colors — and your imagination — to blossom. The Color Trends 2022 palette of 14 hues, which includes October Mist, is harmonious yet diverse, reliable yet whimsical, and meditative yet eclectic.
Close your eyes and imagine you are resting in a Fernwood Green field under the Pale Moon. It’s Quiet Moments like this that you can hear the October Mist as it hangs just low enough to kiss the Wild Flower and Hint of Violet gently with Morning Dew. Can you feel the botanical hues invigorate your senses? These refreshed primary colors will help you give ‘root’ to a whole new style in your home without doing a full redesign.
Clearly gray is NOT going out of style, but simply evolving. In the next year we will see people continue to shift away from those warm gray paint colors that made the comfy Farmhouse and Boho styles so cozy—Greige, Warm Gray, and Farmhouse White—and step into cool refreshing gray tones like Breezeway, Evergreen Fog and October Mist.
