Green with Envy: Paint Color Trends for 2022
It cannot be coincidence that a majority of paint manufacturers around the world have chosen some aspect of green for their color of the year for 2022. Green is a symbol of many things, but the consensus from designers seems to revolve around nature, sustainability, calmness and tranquility.
Take C2 Paint, for example. Their color of the year is Olive Branch C2-938 which represents new beginnings, nature, positive energy, and sustainability — all concepts that are relevant today. This versatile, mid-tone green takes it a step further by speaking to the symbol of humanity, hope, vitality, and peace.” writes Tia Clarida, Director of Marketing at C2.
