Sherwin-Williams’ 2019 Color of the Year is Cavern Clay SW 7701 (290-C6). Cavern Clay is very warm, earthy and reminiscent of the 1970s. Do you think avocado colored kitchen appliances will also be trendy in 2019?
“We believe 2019 will be a renaissance of the 1970s — with a twist. In the coming year, we will embrace our pioneering spirits and artisan ingenuity. Our 2019 Color of the Year, Cavern Clay, embodies renewal, simplicity and free-spirited, bohemian flair.” -Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams.
