–Upward by Sherwin Williams (SW 6239)
According to a SW press release, “It brings to life that carefree, sunny day energy that elicits a notion of contentment and peace. With this color, we invite our consumers to take a pause and infuse a new sense of ease and possibility into their spaces—one that doesn’t overwhelm, but rather establishes meditation and tranquility.”
–Bay Blue by Minwax (stain)
“Bay Blue is at the intersection of contemporary and classic,” said Sue Kim, director of color marketing for Minwax, in a press release. “This year’s color is meant to ignite the creativity of DIYers to think of bold and rich color stain options when planning their next home project. With Bay Blue available in both solid and semi-transparent wood stain opacities, the possibility to create custom looks is easily within reach.”
This color is “anything-but-yellow honey beige. This modern neutral is as adaptable as its name implies and is taking the place of cool neutral tones that are so last year,” says a color expert.
“Renew Blue is an incredibly versatile and all-season shade that anyone can envision in their space. Inspired by fleeting elements like fog, mist, clouds, and glacier lakes, Renew Blue elevates the everyday mood, encourages self-expression, and evokes a feeling of balance and calm, with a twist of unique spontaneity,” says a color expert.
“Adding a soft black like Cracked Pepper evokes a sense of confidence and individuality that we want all of our customers to feel after completing a project,” says a Behr expert.
–Persimmon by HGTV Home (Sherwin Williams)
“Persimmon balances the energy of tangerine with grounded neutral undertones, making it perfect for spaces like living rooms and kitchens as it promotes positive relationships and conversation,” said Ashley Banbury, Sherwin-Williams’ color marketing manager, in a press release. “The beautiful shade helps rejuvenate a space while bringing unique design visions to life.”
“We’re taking a comforting approach; embracing restoration and nature, while bringing harmony into the home,” said a Dutch Boy press release.
