Colour Of The Year 2022

View this email in your browser

In October, we announced the Benjamin Moore Colour of the Year 2022 as October Mist 1495. Anchoring our harmonious and earthy Colour Trends palette, October Mist is a gentle shade reminiscent of the silver-green stem of a flower which draws on personal rituals from everyday life to celebrate expression in colour.

Inspired by the foundational properties of green, October Mist is a calming, anchoring hue from which endless colour combinations can be imagined refreshing your space.

The surrounding Colour Trends 2022 collection beautifully complements October Mist to form an organic and refreshing canvas palette for your home, encouraging reconnection with nature and creative expression.

Introducing our Colour of the Year 2022, October Mist 1495 .

A gentle shade of green, October Mist symbolises balance and harmony, whilst the dusty hues represent restoration, relaxation, and peace. It's a beautifully calming and serene colour to have within the home to ground us and promote reconnection with nature.

So, how can we use October Mist in our space? Introducing subtle touches of October Mist within the home is a great way to enjoy the emotional benefits of the colour without upheaving the de´cor of the room and can be used to add an interesting twist to any space.

For example, painting a door frame or updating a wooden bookcase or chair. This will really help to ground the room, creating a strong connection with nature and creating a calming and reflective space.

Alternatively, if you're after a total room refresh, October Mist simultaneously anchors and uplifts, meaning that it will elevate spaces flooded with light and shadier rooms alike. It will work to complement both the metallic touches in contemporary schemes and the softer finishes in more rustic homes. Why not experiment with different gradients of colour on your walls for an eye-catching twist. For example, painting a wall three quarters of the way up to create an interesting accent within the room will easily refresh the space.

We think October Mist works best when it complements off-white warm neutral colours, such as Collector's Item or Morning Dew. This helps to really let the calming properties of October Mist shine, creating a reflective and serene space to boost creativity and comfort within the home.

Similarly, the Colour Trends 2022 palette is made up of earthy, warming tones, all of which are easy to introduce into your living and working spaces, whether you are looking for a total update or to refresh a room. From timeless rosy tones, calming sage to sunshine yellow, each colour can be celebrated, whether on its own or paired with other tones of the palette.

So however you choose to celebrate colour with us this year, the Colour Trends 2022 palette provides effortless harmony for every design style. With an expansive palette honouring our connection with nature and encouraging playful exploration of colour, we're sure that you will find a way to make the Colour Trends 2022 palette your own.
