Sherwin-Williams says it welcomes new beginnings with its 2022 Color of the Year Evergreen Fog SW 9130, a “nourishing and sophisticated” gray-green.
“Evergreen Fog is a sophisticated wash of color for spaces that crave a subtle yet stunning statement shade,” says 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.”
Evergreen Fog is a soothing, subtle shade that is easy to use in every part of the home, indoors or out, the company says.
“The familiar, comfortable nature of Evergreen Fog shines as a reassuring backdrop and freshens up any space,” Wadden says. “Create depth and texture with a mix of natural-looking textiles. Add a little gleam with a fusion of metals — champagne gold, warm brass, or inky black.”
The color lends itself to multiuse areas to promote the versatility of the space, lounges and other areas used for rest and relaxation, and entry areas and lobbies as a comforting welcome.
Led by Director of Color Marketing Sue Wadden, the Sherwin-Williams global color and design team researches and identifies key trends that influence the way we interact with color. From those findings, the team turns emerging themes into the annual Colormix Forecast, which, for 2022, features 40 colors and four palettes. The team chooses the Color of the Year from the annual Forecast. The 2022 selection, Evergreen Fog SW 9130, is the 12th official Color of the Year.
