Color trends: Hit pause

July 31, 2018

As our daily lives get faster and technology makes more things possible, we are busier than ever before. Many people find themselves distracted and overwhelmed as slaves to technology. Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of daily life, there is a yearning to turn in. Consumers are looking to the world around them to help achieve this.

Our modern lifestyles make it is more important than ever before to find ways to slow down and recharge. At Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings, we know that color has the power to help us go within and reset.

The rich colors and healing tones of the Hit Pause color palette encourage us to stay centered and rejuvenate. Hemlock Green, Crane Gray, Rocco Beige, and Aqua Mint bring positive energy and remind us to slow down.

Color, form, light, and space are the main components of an architectural project. Of these, color actually most impacts the other three. In fact, color profoundly shapes our world, the visitor experience, our moods, and even our daily rhythms. The environment around us can help us recharge and refocus.
