Sherwin Williams announced the company’s Color of the Year for 2023, and it’s quite a divergence from their choice last year. The Sherwin Williams Color of the Year this time around is Redend Point SW 9081. This warm, earthy red is a unique choice, and it works well in living spaces alongside other earthy tones.

Sherwin Williams Color of the Year – 2022 to 2023

Last year, Sherwin Williams’ color of the year was Evergreen Fog SW 9130. This cooler gray-green was meant to evoke a return to nature. Evergreen Fog is an understated color that worked well in several rooms. It looked lovely in kitchens, especially when paired with white. 

Redend Point, on the other hand, is a much warmer color. It’s somewhere between a red and a brown. The color also has a soft quality, which makes it relaxing and inviting, despite the fact that it’s red. Because it’s a warm color, Redend Point is an excellent option for living rooms or anywhere that will get a lot of natural light. The natural light will showcase the depth of the color without desaturating it. 

What Colors Does Redend Point Pair With?

Pairing Sherwin Williams’ Color of the Year with Pure White trim is always a good choice. The White trim adds a nice bit of contrast that emphasizes the color. However, you can also pair the color with other earth tones. Sherwin Williams recommends mostly browns like Foothills, Carnelian, and Urban Bronze. The company also recommends Cool Beige, Hushed Auburn, and Toile Red.

Where Should You Avoid Putting This Color?

Redend Point is an excellent color for living rooms, kitchens, and other living spaces. However, it isn’t the best choice for bedrooms. Warmer colors, especially reds and browns, don’t create the calming and relaxing environment needed for good sleep. For bedrooms, we recommend a color with cooler tones.
