Crossville Looks at Paint Companies’ Colors of the Year for 2022

It's the most colorful time of year in the design world. That's because many paint manufacturers have just revealed their "colors of the year"—the hues they forecast we'll be seeing more of in 2022. Several colors of the year have been announced over the past few weeks, and the round-up thus far is quite different from last year's range of bright jewel tones and on-trend neutrals. Evoking the soft and soothing palette, one could easily ascertain that green is the new gray for 2022. Each of the chosen colors are very approachable, with a spectrum of shades that are warm, earthy and natural. Here's a look at the trending hues for 2022.

Sherwin Williams’ Evergreen Fog

Returning to a more muted palette, Sherwin Williams emphasizes the trend of neutrals warming up and prioritizing organic living with natural materials.

“Evergreen Fog is a sophisticated wash of color for spaces that crave a subtle yet stunning statement shade,” said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “Evergreen Fog inspires us to begin again and is a great choice for modern interiors and exteriors.”

Valspar’s Colors of the Year

Valspar curated 12 trendy, yet timeless, colors evoking a calm, comfortable presence. From Blanched Thyme to Country Charm, the palette reflects the focus on our “physical and mental well-being.”

Each of the shades promotes spaces that are warm, calm and comfortable and that are inspired by natural elements.

Glidden’s Guacamole 

Glidden Paint, by PPG, also announced a green hue, Guacamole, focusing on “This spirited yet soothing green brings an organic energy to any space, which is needed because we all know you’ve probably killed at least three plants this year.”

Benjamin Moore’s October Mist 1495
A stylish, shaded sage, Benjamin Moore’s October Mist 1495 “evokes the silver-green stem of a flower,” and “creates a canvas for other colors -and your imagination – to blossom.”

Paired with 13 colors, October Mist coordinates with both the primary tones reflecting personal style to the botanical colors balancing with nature.
