Color Trends of the Future
Annually, Sherwin Williams predicts color trends for the coming year. For 2019, Sherwin Williams gathered 42 trend colors into a master palette, then arranged them into six unique color personalities: Shapeshifter, Wanderer, Aficionado, Enthusiast, Naturalist and Raconteur.
“Every color in the Color Forecast, whether alone or when combined with others, tells a different story, a different riddle or different song, similar to the honesty found only in a written journal,” said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “Our intent was to ask ourselves, ‘If this palette were a person, what kind of person might they be?’ making it important to bring forth a forecast that is personal and aspiring, yet attainable – how all design should be.”

Shapeshifter is a color palette that reaches into the cosmos and returns with an entire universe of inspiration. The palette’s aesthetic is mystical, rooted in strong geometrics and clean lines. |

Wanderer is the palette for the person who will never be fenced in, who needs to soak in the endless horizons and subtle earthy tones of the high plains. Clays, caramels and browns from canyons to worn leather and the woven wool blankets of the true New West. The Wanderer palette is sun-washed and warm. It offers a modern desert feel made of one-part cowboy, one-part Scandinavian style that produces a luxurious result. |

Aficionado evokes nostalgia and timeless traditions, offering color tones of copper and gold anchor, merlot and gray. It evokes an emotion of what is best-in-life, well-worn and bespoke. It is ostentatious without being fake or showy and has the right amount of charm to make it feel tasteful. |

Enthusiast is designed for those who break the rules and defy the status quo. Enthusiast features bold pops of vivid blue, green and red. Enthusiast creates opportunities to have fun and push boundaries with colors. It’s a color palette that will never fade. |

Raconteur offer rich reds to muted mauve. Raconteur represents storytelling itself. They are stories that subtly remind us of how everyone is connected. |
