COLOR TRENDS 2021

Every year paint companies come out with their color of the year. They describe moods, vibes, and everything else associated with those colors - how it makes us feel, our home, and our life. I enjoy repainting rooms in my house, call it crazy, but I absolutely love color and how it creates a mood in individual rooms. This is why I anticipate each year what the color choices will be. 2021 has the theme of unifying, hope, and home. Every year there are many choices as each paint company offers its own unique take on colors with multiple hues and palettes to choose from. Color truly is a personal choice!

Sherwin Williams

Sherwin-Williams’ Urbane Bronze

In 2020, Navy (SW 6244) made its debut as THE color of the year. It has now given way to something more grounded in 2021: Urbane Bronze (SW 7048)

“Urbane Bronze encourages you to create a sanctuary space for mindful reflection and renewal,” says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “There’s also reassurance in its sentimentality, with nostalgic ties to the design of the ‘70s and ‘90s, but with gray undertones that give it a distinctly modern twist." The Spruce offers inspiration on various ways to use Urbane Bronze.
