DESIGN TRENDS:
Feelin’ Green
T
he perfect color doesn’t just define a room; it can also impact your emotions, mind clarity, and energy levels. Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year for 2022, October Mist (1495), does all of that and more. It’s a gorgeous, soft, earthy shade of green sitting at the center of the color spectrum, symbolizing balance and harmony—perfect as a backdrop for a spa-like bathroom or creative home office. Nivara Xaykao of Benjamin Moore explains the selection: “It felt so fresh in the moment, but it also has a timeless quality. It’s distinct enough to make an impression of its own, but then it’s subtle enough to pair with so many other colors.” I love the depth and sophistication when combined with a rich charcoal gray similar to Benjamin Moore’s Mysterious (AF-565); and when matched up with Hint of Violet (2114-60), the unexpected pairing sets a sweet tone for a children’s room. Even just a pop of October Mist is a great way to incorporate its emotional properties into a space without having to commit to painting an entire room. Try just painting the shelving in your home office to temper feelings of anxiety or burnout. Or add vases of a similar color to an entry table—a great way to evoke a sense of restoration and peace whenever you walk in the door. n
Evoking the silver-green stem of a flower, Benjamin Moore’s October Mist (1495) quietly anchors a space and creates a canvas for other colors to shine. See the complete Color Trends 2022 palette at benjaminmoore.com
