Sherwin-Williams recently acquired Valspar and in doing so, have released 12 colors of the year for 2020. Nature is the inspiration for the dozen inviting hues. Names like Canyon Earth, Winter Calm, Secluded Garden, Mint Whisper, Pale Powder, Secret Moss and Bombay Pink seen above. Note the gold accents that truly pair well with this immersive color.

It urges your senses to relax and adding other nature tones like blues and beiges add to that effect.
