It’s an exciting time of year when Sherwin-Williams gives designers their Colour forcast for 2022

I thought that in the light of everything that’s happening across British Columbia right now with forest fires raging across our beautiful province that it might be great to have something uplifting to look at in our lives.

There is always so much to learn about colour!

Sherwin-Williams calls their forecasts ‘Colormix.’ Lets look at the four palettes they are forecasting. METHOD, OPUS, DREAMLAND and EPHEMERA

METHOD

Based on Nature - a collection of organic neutrals and tonal luxury. This palette’s earthiness and rich warmth with influences being: art deco • intention • modern organic • postmodernism

OPUS

This palette of dusky deep tones and unexpected accents was created to be a new kind of classical, to set drama and emotion to the art of good style, and to never, ever fade into the background. Influences: modern maximalism • glam industrial • theater • moody eclectic

DREAMLAND

A life-giving energy at the start of a new season, with pearlescent tones, new-growth greens, and lavish pinks, and tend to a space where fresh ideas flourish. Influences: biomimicry • renewal • eco-style • wellness

EPHEMERA

This palette is a play on primary color. Each shade is chosen to evoke the fond remembrance of what once was and the unwavering optimism of what could someday be. Influences: nostalgia • retro futurism • meaning & memory • optimism

And just when you’re wondering how this might apply to your business, find out here how Colormix connects to commercial design, wood tones and a range of products. It’s critical that Designers are watching trends, and even more important that they are using these trends to maximize your BRAND IMAGE.
