Palette No. 3: The Gathering of Deeps and Darks
Sherwin-Williams acknowledges the rise of deeper tones, attributing it to the rapid societal changes we are experiencing. These deep and dark colors have the power to cocoon and comfort, creating modern spaces that offer a sense of security. This palette will be instrumental in balancing the increasing radiance of bright tones anticipated in 2024 and beyond. As we navigate through a politically charged year, these darker hues will reflect the macro-level shifts in society, moving away from the stark whites of the earlier decade.

Palette No. 4: Delicate Tints
Delicate tints signify a broader acceptance of less-is-more aesthetics. The subtle shifts in this color group indicate a move towards simplicity and mindfulness. White, a color widely associated with cleanliness and wellness, takes on a new role in 2024 and 2025, becoming linked to sustainability, conservation, and slow living. As we transition away from the excesses of the past, delicate tints emerge as a symbol of embracing a more sustainable and mindful way of living.
