We believe this was largely driven by the emotional challenges of the pandemic and people wanting to bring “happy” colors into their home. Yellow was another color, similar to green, that saw a huge increase in popularity over the last year. Green has always been a fairly polarizing color that clients either love or hate and we’re predicting that people might be a little more comfortable with Evergreen Fog since it’s slightly more grounded and versatile within different spaces. This is a beautiful color that is also great for creating a serene space but we’ve found that it’s not quite as versatile as Evergreen Fog. In contrast though, October Mist is not quite as gray and has a little more yellow in it than Evergreen Fog. October Mist is another light green with a slightly gray undertone. You’ll notice quickly that the Benjamin Moore color of the year is quite similar to Sherwin Williams. We were thrilled to see this color selected for the Sherwin Williams Color of the Year and we’re excited to see it have its moment in the sun!

Because of this we love to see this color used in bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and even on the exterior of the home. This color is incredibly versatile and can work in a variety of spaces and surfaces while creating a calming and relaxed atmosphere. The gray helps take some of the saturation out of the color which helps it feel more timeless and sophisticated. Evergreen Fog from Sherwin Williams is an absolutely beautiful light green with a grounded gray undertone. Greens have been a huge color trend lately both inside and outside the home.
