Paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams unveiled its 2022 colour of the year: Evergreen Fog SW 9130. This grey-green is a calming, cool and refreshing hue which is suitable for any type of environment, be it our domestic hearth or a commercial area.

This shade stems from the study of Sherwin-Williams' global colour and design team that researches and identifies key trends each year that influence how we interact with colours. From these findings, the team transforms emerging themes into the annual Colormix Forecast, which, for 2022, features 40 colours and 4 palettes.

Evergreen Fog is part of the Method palette in the Sherwin-Williams 2022 Colormix® Forecast, which embraces creativity, intention and discovery, and as the colour of the year it ushers in a new era of nostalgic mid-tones after years of neutral colours and bold jewel tones.

“Evergreen Fog is a sophisticated wash of colour for spaces that crave a subtle yet stunning statement shade,” said Sue Wadden, director of colour marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “Evergreen Fog inspires us to begin again and is a great choice for modern interiors and exteriors.”

A colour for every environment

“The familiar, comfortable nature of Evergreen Fog shines as a reassuring backdrop and freshens up any space,” Wadden said. “Create depth and texture with a mix of natural-looking textiles. Add a little gleam with a fusion of metals — champagne gold, warm brass, or inky black.”

Evergreen Fog brings a regenerative touch to any environment, whether hotel room, restaurant or office,” continues Wadden.

In fact, this colour, in addition to being suitable for indoor or outdoor domestic spaces, lends itself to multipurpose areas to favour the versatility of the space, living rooms and other areas used for rest and relaxation, and entrance and lobby areas as a comforting welcome. It is also perfect for a variety of spaces, substrates and design styles, including art deco, modern organic, and postmodernism.

The colour of the year can be viewed with the ColorSnap® Visualizer app, a tool designed to help consumers and professionals make confident and efficient paint colour selections and is available at Sherwin-Williams stores nationwide or to order online for in-store or curbside pick-up.
