There’s big news in the world of paint today, as both Valspar and HGTV Home announce their 2019 Colors of the Year and color collections. Both brands are a part of the Sherwin-Williams Consumer Brands Group and both reveal more than one color in their announcements.
Valspar Celebrates a Decade of Color Trends
In 2019, Valspar will celebrate its 10th anniversary of the company’s color experts selecting trending shades for the upcoming year, inspired by the landscape of lifestyle trends. Rather than limit inspiration to just one color, Valspar chooses to celebrate its offering of endless color by curating 12.
The Colors of the Year are mood-inspiring hues that encourage DIYers to embrace change and create a personalized home environment. From shades that evoke stability and strength to those that spark introspection and growth, each color represents an opportunity for people to feel empowered in the spaces where they live.
“The Valspar Colors of the Year are bolder takes on basic colors to provide color-curious consumers the opportunity to create change within their homes in an easy, fun and attainable way,” says Sue Kim, Valspar senior color designer at Sherwin-Williams Consumer Brands Group. “We believe changing your outlook can be as easy as changing the paint on your walls. Orange Slice, for instance, evokes a sense of playfulness, while Twilight Mist brings an aura of mystery.”
See below for the full list of 12 colors and how they come to life in different rooms with a variety of techniques.
- Metropolis Lilac - The immersive purple invites us to step away from ‘what is’ and open up to exciting and unexpected new realities.
- Angelic Blue - This breezy blue has healing qualities but doesn’t take itself too seriously. Its weightless quality seems to push past the walls and welcome us into the controlled sanctuary we call home.
- Green Water - This harmonious green-blue is perfectly balanced, neutral enough to inspire our growth in any direction.
- Twilight Mist - Anticipating uncharted territory ahead, this light, clean violet reflects the edge of artificial space, where light is both comforting and strangely familiar.
- Spring Squash – This light-hearted yellow has a touch of active orange to help us rebalance our responsibilities and count on our new smart- device helpers.
- Martinique Dawn - This optimistic green has a heart of linen to remind us that we become stronger when we are woven together.
- Wishing Well - This true blue reflects honesty and clarity, without shading or apology. Wherever you use it, it’s a bold statement of your own truth.
- Blushing Bride - This rosy neutral injects an element of spirituality into everyday life, giving us a rosier view of reality.
- Seattle Haze - This quiet, thoughtful blue has a touch of purple to free our thinking and a hint of gray to ground us in our own glorious – but imperfect – human nature.
- Lime Mousse - Flip the fearless switch on and use this citrusy green to create surprise in a corner of your home with a dash of healthy luxury.
- Homey Cream - This raw wood shade is the light, unencumbered backdrop for a minimalistic lifestyle that is full of life. The lightness has just a touch of comforting yellow.
- Orange Slice - Orange is always an adventure, but the artificial intensity of this orange invites an open, experimental mindset that keeps us guessing.
