Sherwin-Williams introduced the Colormix® Forecast 2024, Anthology: Volume One, a new biennial approach to the annual color trend report. This recurring color reference will alternate each year with the usual style and trend storytelling that the brand is known for. Looking ahead to 2024, the very first Anthology collection explores the directional shifts of four chromatic families – diving into the meaning behind the chosen colors, their role in awakening modern aesthetics, and what their future holds. 

Comprising 48 hand-selected hues, the expertly curated collection will explore four palettes: blues and greens, reds and purples, deeps and darks and delicate tints. Organized by color family, Anthology is an easy-to-use reference for designers, homeowners, and industry professionals alike.

“Through the launch of Anthology, we are thrilled to diversify our yearly color forecasting report to show the depth behind each color trend for the coming year,” said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “In releasing a new volume of the Anthology collection every other year, we hope to bring new color insight to the distinct chromatic families that our designers, industry pros, and savvy DIYers have come to know and love. These palettes–organized by color family for ease of use–will represent the beautiful shifts we are seeing within the world of color here at Sherwin-Williams.”
