Sherwin-Williams has released four new color palettes.
A team of design and color experts developed colormix 2017: The Sherwin-Williams Color Forecast based on extensive research and insights into global trends. The four palettes — Noir, Holistic, Intrepid and Unbounded — each consist of 10 colors.
Noir: Driven by baroque and romanticism trends, the Noir palette is rich with colors that evoke vine-ripe fruits, Nordic blues, moody neutrals, and golden yellow. This stark style looks modern in residences or commercial properties.
Holistic: Sustainable design and transparency are the new standards. The colors of this holistic palette include arctic neutrals, blush rose, wild browns and forest floor green, and they are suitable for healing retreats and eco-travel settings.
Intrepid: Youth culture and global collaboration lead to a feisty energy, which influenced this retro palette, including fiery oranges, vibrant kimono colors and the simplicity of black, white and gray.
Unbounded: Global immigration is redefining national identities, and design is adapting to more diverse populations. Global consciousness is captured in this palette’s earthy mustards and browns as well as ocean blues and corals.
“Our forecast this year is an exploration of the trends and influences that are emerging to drive design towards a state of restless energy,” said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams. “Each of our four palettes tell a distinct color story, offering opportunities for homeowners and professionals alike to explore color in new and exciting ways.”
