Go Beyond

In 2022, we saw new life spring forward in the gentle mists of Evergreen Fog – now we’re ready to expand our horizons as we take another step forward. “We’re craving connection and that’s starting to show in our homes,” says Director of Color Marketing, Sue Wadden. “Redend Point is a thoughtful hue that knows how to reinvent a space in the warmest of ways.” As we seek new experiences and meaningful exchanges with the world around us, this hue reflects the need for nurturing ourselves and others.

Tried & True

What do we love the most about Redend Point? Its go-anywhere attitude. Whether it’s a picturesque desk moment or a bedroom backdrop, this blushing hue has a story to tell in every space – and it leaves a special down-to-earth coziness along the way. 

When styling, think minimal and calming to complement the quieter nature of the color. From rounded shapes to warm wood tones, it’s about balancing layers of naturals and neutrals for a look that instantly makes you feel at home.

Beautifully Balanced

The coordinating colors behind our Color of the Year have also mastered the art of wrapped-in-comfort style – especially when layered together. “What I really love about this palette, is that it’s this great team of colors,” says Wadden. “They all look pretty on their own, but when you pull them together, they create this gorgeous harmony.” From pink clays to terracotta shades, this palette is as rich in tone as it is in options, too. “You don’t have to use every single one of these colors, but you can pull in the ones you like and still get the essence of the collection,” concludes Wadden.

  1. If that’s the color of the year our home will definitely be staying out of fashion. Seriously “Redend Point sw9081” for kitchen cabinetry??? Maybe , maybe a powder room . But this color is more suited to a bra and panty collection than a wall or kitchen cabinet color.

  2. Where is the pizazz, the flare, the dramatic Maybe could have gone with a bright yellow or vibrant blue to show support for those suffering in Ukraine; it would be truly inspiring if Sherwin Williams were to take a bold stance maybe there’s hope for 2024?

  3. What’s the difference between inside and outside paints? I have an enclosed back porch with some railings, doors and trim that need paint…which kind would be most appropriate?

      Hi Gary! For this sort of project, you will want to play it safe and go with exterior paint. Although it may be enclosed, you still might get temperatures from outside (unless it is heated and gets no moisture or extreme temps). Exterior paint will hold up best if this is the case. You will also want to base the type of paint off of the substrate. Etc if it is bare wood, you will use something different than if it is just going on regular drywall. We recommend calling your local store for additional details.

  5. Really disappointed by the color of the year. Hope you get your head out of your ass for the 2024 color.

  6. What is your exterior paint color of the HGTV Colorado 2023 house?

  7. I just painted my powder rm this colour. It’s definitely different than what I’m used to but with the right accents, it’s really nice.

  8. Pink tones have been trending in surfaces and decor for the past few years so I’m happy to see it as an SW color of the year. I was looking at my white painted fireplace today and wanted to add some distressing and thought some terra clay tones would look nice. Pulled up Sherwin Williams and what do I see?? Redend Point! The entire pallet is perfection.

  10. Love this color!! I am using this in my coffee/tea room and in my family room and my hall. I am also using urbane bronze as a accent color for trim and doors Using pure white and Redend for wall. To me it is turning out just perfect. Just can’t wait to get it all finish.

  11. I was skeptical of this color at first. I bought a quart and painted a little of my wall with it. I liked it and didn’t like it. I decided to go for it! My living room, hall, kitchen and dining room are all this color. I went with Shoji White for the crown molding and baseboards. It creates a very welcoming, earthy feel. I went from all gray to this. If you’re contemplating this color, go for it! It’s a hard color to describe but it’s beautiful!
