2021 Color Trends Forecast

The color experts at Sherwin Williams presented us with a dazzling paint color trend forecast called "Rhythm of Color". Rhythm is the secret to how the natural world stays in step. The same sense of balance applies to our personal sense of nature through how we live — and how we design our homes.

See the "Rhythm of Color" presented in four palettes designed to bring your own rendition of rhythm to your beautiful life.

SANCTUARY
Nature’s ability to cultivate wellness and calm is more welcome than ever. The nurturing hues of this palette, including warm neutrals and natural tones, forge the connection between the modern built environment and the living world.

Influenced by wellness, nesting, warm minimalism, and Scandinavian design

ENCOUNTER
Layers of local character — rooted in culture and artisan craft — create an authentic sense of place. The rich but muted hues in this palette convey that heritage quality and the value of simple, meaningful experiences.

Influenced by modern bohemian, natural materials and storytelling

CONTINUUM
The optimism and imagination of mid-century modernists inspired designs that reached high into the sky and deep into the sea. This palette of white, charcoal and pops of color celebrates that spirit as it bounds fearlessly into the future.

Influenced by synthetic & natural, sea & space, sculptural modernism and engineered environment.

TAPESTRY
Exuberance meets restraint in today’s more curated take on maximalism. The vibrancy of this palette — including lavish pinks and greens — finds inspiration in classicism, but with just a touch of cutting edge.

Influenced by security, creative expression, classic revisited and sensory exploration.
