The color green brings a natural balance to interiors and exteriors. Similar to a walk in the forest or a day spent planting this summer’s veggies, shades of this calming hue connect our homes to the world outside. Used on exterior siding or a front door, green takes cues from the surrounding landscape and amplifies its beauty. Used inside, green is easy to live with and suitable for any space – from kitchens to bedrooms. Like layers of leaves found in the garden, this color embodies a gentle energy that feels fresh and affirming when leaning towards yellow and grounding and gorgeous when moving into blue.

Earthy yellows bring a warm sophistication to our homes. Muted shades of yellow offer energy and uplift without being overwhelming. From ochre to mustard and everything in between, complexity is key in creating depth and unexpected interest in interiors. A few of our favorite earthy yellows that feel like the embrace of spring year round include: Luna | R049 , Golden Lake | 0316, and Durum Wheat R052.

Embrace pinkish hues for a heart-warming home. Soft and soothing, muted pastels create the feeling of calm and comfort when incorporated into our spaces. Depending on the room, these hues can be an unexpected backdrop for modern furnishing and decor. Adjacent to pink on the color wheel, lavender and peach can take the place of pink when more complexity is desired. Together, Pointe Shoes | R121, Kind Kiss | R122, and Chick Pea Please | R128 from our Northwest Color Collection create a beautiful trio ready to transform your home into a nurturing oasis.

Winter skies hang low with wet clouds and cold air. We hunker down in our homes during this season as daylight hours are short and the nights are chilly. There is a quiet peace to this time of year when trees are bare and neutral tones dominate the exterior landscape. By taking cues from nature’s winter palette we can tap into the soothing side of warm grays and beiges. Read on for some of our favorites.

This year, we are focusing on what brings us together to reflect on what is precious. UNITY | RO129 – our 2023 Color of the Year – is an earthy terra-cotta hue that represents the joy of coming together in community. Unity is warm by nature and is symbolic of materials, textures, landscapes and activities that unite us with the world around us. Whether we are crafting a clay pot, watching the sunset or gathering for a special meal by candlelight, Unity brings us closer to what we love.
