Volume Two presents four curated palettes:
Frosted Tints: Cool, icy pastels in blue, green, and purple hues
Sunbaked Hues: Earthy reds, golds, and warm clay tones
Restorative Darks: Sophisticated deep colors for quiet impact
Foundational Neutrals: Saturated near-blacks, taupes, and modern whites
Each palette reflects insights gathered from Sherwin-Williams’ global network of designers, marketers, and color strategists. The report is supported by a lookbook, peel-and-stick samples and a new podcast episode of Colormixology™ featuring guest designer TK Wismer.
