Every year, paint companies join hands with colour experts to reveal their picks, so here they are
A new year is the time for a new beginning, for new dreams and hopes, new ideas and philosophies. Most of us tend to take stock at the end of the year and figure out ways to be better versions of ourselves in the new year. While you’re doing that, perhaps your home also deserves a new look in 2022.
Each year, paint companies join hands with colour experts to reveal their picks for the shades and hues that best sum up the current period. Choices for a particular ‘Colour of the Year’ tend to draw on trends in fashion, tech, pop culture, and design — and what’s happening around the world.
