1. DULUX – WILD WONDER
Dulux, staple of the paint world, has released the Dulux Color of the Year 2024, Wild Wonder, a soft golden yellow with a subtle green undertone. The paint shade that's set to be the color trend of the upcoming year reflects our eagerness to prioritize our mental wellbeing during post pandemic, immersing ourselves within calming and enriching spaces.
2. SHERWIN-WILLIAMS – REDEND POINT
A beautiful blush pink paint is the comforting color announced as shade of the year by Sherwin-Williams. Redend Point is a gentle and earthy clay pink shade reminiscent of soft desert sands, something we're seeing a lot of across this year's color forecasts.
'Redend Point was inspired by the idea of finding beauty beyond ourselves,' says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. 'It's a heartening hue that invites compassion and connection into any space.'
3. DUNN-EDWARDS – TERRA ROSA
Household name Dunn-Edwards has predicted a similar pink hue will be the talking point for designers in the year ahead. Terra Rosa shows the enduring popularity of a humble pink paint. Darker and smokier than Sherwin-Williams' Redend Point, this deep, rosy pink adds a touch of terracotta to the mix, sure to work in harmony with the growing desire for brown tones.
4. MYLANDS – FTT-006
Paying homage to the enduring Barbiecore trend that's graced our Instagram feeds this summer, British paint brand Mylands have announced a hot pink shade, FTT-006 , as their Color of the Year for 2024. As part of their Film, Television and Theatre range, (marking their longstanding involvement with the British entertainment industry), FTT-006 adds unique character and personality to any space. A bold choice for the home, it's made from a strong mix of red and magenta for an energetic feel, perfect for a playful bathroom or statement woodwork. It's the perfect antidote for trying times.
5. KRYLON - SPANISH MOSS
Krylon spray paint have opted for a more natural hue for their Color of the Year with a deep green called Spanish Moss. Available in a matt finish only, this earthy green balances both cool and warm accents with its grey undertone, making it extremely versatile.
6. BENJAMIN MOORE - RASPBERRY BLUSH
Vivid, vibrant and vivacious are the three adjectives that capture Raspberry Blush, the new Color of the Year from Benjamin Moore. The definition of charismatic color, this rich coral shade is tinged with a hint of pink which promises to inject energy into any space.
7. GRAHAM & BROWN - ALIZARIN
British paint brand Graham & Brown have also predicted an earthy pink-red hue will dominate our interiors in 2024. Their Color of the Year, Alizarin, is a wonderfully warm auburn red shade named after a pigment derived from the Rubia plant species, which has historically been used as natural dye.
8. C2 - TIRAMISU
Similar to Dulux's approach, C2's Color of the Year for 2024 is all about going back to basics and celebrating our origins. Tiramisu is a rich, restorative cedar with a warm undertone, inspired by the diverse range and tonalities of natural wood. Two complimentary colors, Stout a near-black, and En Pointe, a graceful off-white, culminate in a grounding neutral canvas perfect for a neutral color scheme.
