Color of the Year: Sherwin Williams


Sherwin Williams color for 2017 is Poised Taupe.


Sherwin Williams says, this shade will create a cozy lifestyle and bring a sense of sanctuary into our homes. Their story of this taupe is simple…. This is a combination of an earthy brown with a conservative grey, resulting in a weathered, woodsy and complex neutral that celebrates the imperfections and authenticity of a well-lived life. 

 

“It diffuses the stresses of the world outside our doors — so much so that we feel restored and in balance when we walk across our threshold.” 



 

This shade has been hailed as the “new neutral” in the fashion world. We are seeing it all over the runways, because it compliments practically every skin tone.
