It’s hard to believe that we’re already inching into the final months of this year, but beloved paint brand Benjamin Moore is eagerly looking ahead to lighter, brighter days. In anticipation of all that the coming year has to promise, the paint brand has announced a soft sage tone called October Mist as its pick for the Color of the Year 2022. Alongside other recently announced Colors of the Year (namely, the picks from Sherwin-Williams, PPG, and Behr), this makes it official: 2022 will absolutely be the year of any and all shades of green.
Describing this particular tone as “a gently shaded sage,” the brand revealed that it selected October Mist as the anchoring shade in its larger Color Trends 2022 palette. Similar to the green stem of a flower, October Mist is meant to encourage inspiration to grow, flourish, and blossom.
Alongside a range of hues from refreshed primaries to luminous pales and botanical hues, according to a press release announcing the launch, the Benjamin Moore team hopes that the Color Trends 2022 palette will “invigorate the senses and give root to personal style. The palette is harmonious yet diverse, reliable yet whimsical and meditative yet eclectic,” all things the paint brand’s experts expects of 2022.
