Sherwin Williams Color of the Year 2021

-

Hi Everyone

Thanks for checking out my blog today.  This time of the year is a favourite of mine, not only do I love the autumn colors but it's also that time of the year when major paint companies start announcing their Color of the Year (COTY).


Sherwin William COTY 2021

For 2021 Sherwin Williams announced their COTY as Urbane Bronze SW 7048.  I am definitely on board with this color choice for 2021 and beyond.  Urbane Bronze could be best described as a dark brown/gray.  Depending on how you see color it may even lean towards a black for you. This sultry, rich color has a green undertone and has an LRV of 8 so it's definitely a dark color.  Just keep in mind when I mention undertones, depending on your lighting, you may not notice it at all (I have to as that's my job 😊).  I have noticed a shift to more earthy, warm colors in my color consultations so this choice definitely makes sense.

“The home is now the ultimate retreat from the world, and color is an easy and effective way to create a personal haven,” Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams, said in a press release. “Urbane Bronze encourages you to create a sanctuary space for mindful reflection and renewal.”

If you like this color but feel it's too dark for an all over color, it would make a great option for cabinets, railing, doors or exterior color.  Enough talk - let me show you what this beautiful color looks like and you can decide for yourself.








What do you think of Sherwin William's color choice for 2021?  If you need help choosing new paint colors for your home I'd love to hear from you - check out my online color consultations.

Have a Colorful Day!

Hi Everyone Thanks for checking out my blog today. For the last few months I have been sharing some of my favourite Sherwin Williams paint colours but I wanted to do things a little differently this month.  Instead of featuring just one paint colour, I wanted to share with you 5 of my favourite, warm neutrals.  What makes them a warm neutrals (I'm sure you are asking yourself 😏)?  I don't want to get too technical but I want to differentiate between what we've been taught in regards to the colour wheel - that warm colours are red, yellow orange etc and the cool colours are blue, green violet etc. For this particular blog when I'm referring to warm neutral, I am not referring to the undertone but instead I'm referring to neutrals that have some amount of beige in them.  It does not necessarily have to be a beige or a tan paint colour - even gray can be a warm neutral provided there is some beige incorporated into it.  I'm not sure if you've noticed but desig...

Hi Everyone! Thanks for checking out my blog.  Today I wanted to share with you 5 of my favourite dark blue paint colours.  The colours I will be sharing are Sherwin Williams paint colours as those are the colours I generally work with on consultations.  Dark blues or dark blue/grays continue to be a client favourite whether I am choosing paint colours for the interior or exterior.   There are so many different ways to incorporate these luxurious paint colours into your home - a feature wall, an all over colour or doors are just a few examples. The colour blue represents trust, honesty and loyalty and in the world of colour, I truly believe, it is a timeless classic.  Another reason I love working with these darker blues is there almost no limit to what other colours can be paired with them. Outerspace SW 6251 Outerspace by Sherwin Williams is a paint colour I've worked with many, many times on both interiors and exteriors.  This is a popular colo...

Popular Front Door Paint Colors

 Hi Everyone Thanks for checking out my blog today.  I recently had the opportunity to be featured in an Redfin article  about choosing exterior paint colors and of course 😀 I wrote about one of my favourite things, painted doors!  Whether it's interior or exterior I love a door that's painted a color other then white.  Today I thought it would be fun, with spring hopefully just around the corner, to talk about painting your exterior door. Painting your exterior door is a quick and inexpensive way to instantly add curb appeal to your home.   If you are painting your front door please PLEASE ensure you also paint the hinged side of the door.  It's a pet peeve of mine 😆 when I see a painted front door and a white strip on the side (hinged side).   There are so many different routes you can go with color.  You can go with a timeless choice such as red, black or navy blue or if you want to inject your personality with a fun pop of col...
