2016 Color of the Year

A hue symbolic of new beginnings, Alabaster (SW 7008), is Sherwin-Williams 2016 Color of the Year. At a time of interconnected commotion and overstimulation, Alabaster offers a sense of personal solace and revival to weary minds. It is the true neutral to set the tone for 2016.

Jackie Jordan, Sherwin-Williams director of color marketing.

Here are some ideas on where to use Alabaster in you home:

  • It can set the tone for healing, rest and meditation in a bedroom or nursery.

  • It can stand alone as a chic hue in an entryway or home office.

  • It can be paired with light blushes or grays and bridge transitional and traditional styles.

  • You can create a yin and yang harmony with contrasting dark colors, such as Urbane Bronze (SW 7048) or Gray Area (SW 7052) in a spa-like bathroom.

Using the Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap® Visualizer, you can explore the Color of the Year and with the swipe of a finger see it on your own walls!
