The Theme for 2020 is Color in Balance
Sherwin Williams introduces 45 trend colors, spun into five welcoming and intuitive palettes that bring joy, serenity and focus to the mind, body and spirit… and we are here for it.
MANTRA
East meets West in this palette, and both styles have entwined in the most appealing way. Now Nordic simplicity happily engages with the order and elegance of Japanese aesthetics to create a look that is the best of both worlds. With softly muted neutrals that glide from warm to cool, it embraces all that is simple yet utterly essential.
Influences: Minimalism, Serenity, Scandinese, Sanctuary
Here is an example of how you can use colors from MANTRA in your home:
HEART
A confluence of genres and emotions permeates this palette. It’s a unique fusion of iconic modern design mixed with an intergenerational boho vibe. The result is a collection of colors that harmonize amazingly well. From silky earth tones to clove and soft coral, these nine colors are a meditation on comfort, connection and the pleasures found in the everyday.
Influences: Bauhaus, Bohemian, Fusion, Humanity

PLAY
Tag. You’re it. These buoyant colors extend an invitation to jump into the game and have fun. Energetic and clever, this palette packs a lot of charm.
