Sherwin-Williams 2022 Colormix Forecast: Opus Palette

Sherwin-Williams has revealed its 2022 Colormix Forecast: MODE. Composed of 40 hues, including warm neutrals, bold metallics, organic greens, and nostalgic reds, across four palettes – Method, Opus, Dreamland, and Ephemera – the trend-forward forecast “celebrates creativity and intention as we look to the future and seeks to inspire exploration through color.”

“We told a story of balance and rhythm through color last year as we transitioned into a time of stillness. We are holding that balance in one hand and embracing growth and adaptability in the other as we move toward a new vision and discovery of our world,” says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “Embracing the idea of MODE in design inspires a new way of being as we explore beyond what has been the familiar.”

Learn more about the four collections in the 2022 Colormix Forecast below:

Method
Drawing on nature’s processes, the Method palette celebrates natural order and the balance between organic neutrals and tonal luxury. This palette finds its inspiration in art deco, modern organics, and 1980s postmodernism.

Opus
Mysterious and deeply opulent, the Opus palette composes a unique masterwork of stirring rhythms. Grounded in modern maximalism, this palette takes its cues from dark luxury and bold metallics.

Dreamland
Inspired by the fullness of living well, the Dreamland palette effortlessly fuses soft forms and modern Scandinavian minimalism to create a fresh, life-giving fantasy realm. Influenced by biomimicry and sustainability, Dreamland incorporates berry tones and organic greens.

Ephemera
The Ephemera palette evokes a warm nostalgia and unwavering optimism. Unifying retro futurism, meaning and memory, the Ephemera palette merges colors reminiscent of bygone basics.

All the colors in the 2022 Colormix Forecast are available at Sherwin-Williams stores nationwide and are available to order online for in-store or curbside pick-up.
