Behr has nominated Breezeway (MQ3-21), a cool, pale green as their 2022 colour of the year. It is a very fresh looking colour that pairs well with white, grey and natural wood tones. Inspired by nature and reminiscent of sea glass, this colour is tranquil, optimistic and peaceful.

Breezeway is noticeable, yet approachable. It is meant to evoke a desire to move forward, which is perfect for the start of a new year, a new home or even just a new look.

Sherwin Williams decided upon Evergreen Fog (SW 9130), a green that is quite neutral and has an organic feel that will look equally well in a professional setting as well as at home. The curated colour is a mid-tone that combines two of the most popular paint colours, grey and green.

Like Behr’s Breezeway, this simple and sophisticated colour is meant to arouse a fresh start. It pairs well with rich browns, light creams and beiges and oranges.

Benjamin Moore chose October Mist (CC-550), a warm, neutral sage colour for their Colour of the Year. This is another hue that looks great in an office. It is a soothing colour, but not cool as some sage inspired colours tend to be.

Based on nature, this colour is meant to drive creativity and imagination. While green is very popular in home decorating right now, this shade is meant to make it your own. There is a plethora of colours and textures you can pair with it, depending on your personal style. Different hues will arise from this colour depending on what you pair with it, making it a great base colour for any home.
