Since award season is just around the corner, I felt inspired to tell you a little bit about this year’s color chosen by Sherwin Williams: Evergreen Fog.
Where I live in the Carolinas, I’m surrounded by nature and calmness, the feeling this color wants to transmit. Evergreen Fog is a combination of green with gray plus a little touch of blue. At first, it seems very simple, but when you combine it with a nature-inspired palette, it creates a sophisticated and beautiful space.
So why was it chosen for this year? Because it’s the color of new beginnings. Given everything we’ve been through the past 2 years, this color marks the perfect opportunity to start over fresh, with new things in mind.
Ready to dive in with me? Keep on reading to see how to use this color in your space.
Do you recognize a familiar face in the palette above? Yes, I’m talking about Urbane Bronze, the 2021 Sherwin Williams Color of the Year. It fits just perfectly with this palette.
In this project from 2021, I combined these colors. It’s not exactly Evergreen Fog, but they’re very similar,
which I love because we can always mix, match and combine elements that merge well.
Wouldn’t you like to host your Sunday Football parities in this living room? Or having a Galentine’s get-together? This living room emanates coziness.
An important thing I always tell my clients before painting a room is that they should do a test or trial of what it will look like.
You want to make sure the result is the same as your idea or plan.

Take a look at this other example from
Sherwin Williams. Can you identify the colors we mentioned above? This mix of colors creates a perfect study/office corner to help you concentrate more and get things done.
Now take a look at this entryway to greet your guests.
Urbane Bronze is a great color for this door, which creates richness in this space. Notice how the wood console table gives a lot of character to this space. I would want to walk into this house every single day!

And last but not least, check out this living room,
from Sherwin Williams. I saved the best for last. These sofas certainly make a statement.
The cognac color is warm, classic, and timeless. It works so well with Evergreen Fog on the walls, providing a softer look to the whole room. The result is an earthy and relaxed mood, which is perfect to read your favorite book or just spend time with your loved ones.
Since I love what I do, I decided to make a mood board inspired by the color of this year. I chose a bathroom,
and my goal here was to apply warmth and a cozy look.
If you want to recreate your bathroom with these elements, you can shop them here.
