Embrace its extraordinary invitation to craft your own authentic color story.
Beautifully Balanced
The coordinated hues of our Color Capsule of the Year make it easy to create havens of sophisticated comfort that also feel personal. “We selected this palette of coordinating colors to provide plenty of range and flexibility,” says Sue Wadden, Director of Color Marketing. These shades not only play well as a collection but can be combined in whatever combination suits your style and space. “If looking to create a sophisticated monochromatic look, pair Sunbleached, Malabar and a small dose of Clove for contrast and depth. If feeling a bit retro, pair Grounded with Chartreuse, Bosc Pear and Rain Cloud. I love any of these saturated hues with White Snow, for a simple, crisp wall and trim combination,” concludes Wadden. From bold and punchy shades that make a modern statement to soft, toned-down neutrals, this collection offers the versatility and balance you need to craft your own original style. Your imagination is your only limitation.
