In recent years, bright white has stolen the heart of the homeowner-for good reason. The right white paint can completely change a home, from the inside out. (Also, it is a natural choice for the timeless farmhouse style!) But in 2022, look out for warm off-whites and other cozy colors. Drawing inspiration from Benjamin Moore's 2022 color trend palette, it showcases 14 soothing and pastel shades, from earthy taupe to classic pastel yellow. Or, try one of our favorite white paint colors, Sherwin Williams' Cream SW 7012, for a fresh but not glaring off-white.

"Black and white palettes will still be popular, but we will see a deeper appearance become a precedent," designer Ashley DeLapp predicts, his preferred color is Sherwin Williams' Caviar (SW 6990). In order to find the right balance, designer Andi Morse suggested looking for a shadow that “is both eye-catching and blends into the surrounding environment. Benjamin Moore's Soot 2129-20 is mine Favorite, it’s bold but not too heavy. Pair it with lighter colors or textures, such as wood and stone, to create a warm and inviting look." 

Green is no longer just to beautify your environment. As we have seen internally, green is also popular in external paint palettes. Designer Caron Woolsey said: "Deep, moody greens like Sherwin Williams' Basil SW 6194, which are suitable for endless neutral tones, will begin to appear in 2022." "When included in refreshing black and white tones. When in the color palette, Basil adds a chic, avant-garde look that is both unexpected and attractive. When paired with more traditional beige and warm white, Basil becomes a natural element in the color scheme, which feels both organic and upward- So far." If you want to be more relaxed, you can try Benjamin Moore's color of the year, October 1495, Fog, or Sherwin’s choice of 2022, Evergreen Fog SW 9130; both are unique silver green, guaranteed to match each other. The color palettes match well.
