Sherwin-Williams Director of Color Marketing, Sue Wadden, puts the focus on neutral paint colors. “There’s a very new direction in society’s ever-growing thirst for beautiful neutrals that bring warm and cool tones together,” Wadden explains.
Poised Taupe
Poised Taupe, the 2017 Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year, is a perfect example of a classic, warm neutral color with a modern twist. Sherwin-Williams color expert, Sue Wadden, praises its versatility: “Poised Taupe celebrates everything people love about cool gray as a neutral, and also brings in the warmth of brown, taking the color to an entirely new level,” she says. “Not cool or warm, nor gray or brown, Poised Taupe is a weathered, woodsy neutral that brings the sense of coziness and harmony people are seeking.”
