Dunn-Edwards Paints® has announced its 2022 Color of the Year: Art and Craft. This autumnal hue—versatile, moody, complex and nature-based—is a warm and earthy shade that evokes feelings of stability and calm while allowing for a large range of play with creativity and change. Its sophistication complements surrounding colors and can act as a foundation, as well as tying other colors together.
“Optimism means embracing reality and new opportunities. We see our color and design choices mirroring our inner needs as we are challenged to build new paths,” says Sara McLean, color expert and stylist for Dunn-Edwards. “Art and Craft is a timeless shade that embodies the past as well as the optimism and excitement of the future.”
Art and Craft is an alternative to black, softer and warmer, generating feelings of wholesomeness.
“This is a versatile color that we expect to see applied across a variety of industries and disciplines throughout 2022,” says McLean. “I see bohemian glamour and a touch of autumn in Paris. Art and Craft is truly a down-to-earth color that signifies stability, comfort and calm, a color that expresses what we all seek right now.”
