Sherwin-Williams 2027 Color Forecast: My Take on the Rewild Collection

Sherwin-Williams is my go-to brand for paint, so I always look forward to their yearly ColorMix Forecast. Curated by their expert Trendsight Team, it is always so thoughtfully created, and this year’s Rewild collection did not disappoint. The Sherwin-Williams 2027 color forecast leans into something I think we’re all craving a little more of.

We are seeing a return of saturated color. Their themes of revive, reignite, and reconnect represent that same craving, and the home is the perfect place to begin.

A First Look at the Sherwin-Williams 2027 Color Forecast

There are 48 lovely colors in the collection. However, if that feels a bit overwhelming, Sherwin-Williams also offers a smaller palette of 10 called the Continuity Colors. These all blend beautifully and can be mixed in multiple ways to create a palette that’s uniquely yours.

My Go-To Wall Colors

Michigan winters are often dark and gray, and living through so many of them taught me something early on. My own home needs lighter colors on the walls in the main living areas. From this collection, Warm Winter, White Duck, and Quietude might be some go-tos for me. White Duck, in fact, is one of the ten Continuity Colors, which tells you just how versatile and enduring it is.

Where I’d Add Depth and Contrast

I love adding contrast and deeper hues as accent colors, especially in the fall and winter. For instance, I can see leaning into colors like Clove, Caviar, Cordovan, and Mountain Fig. They would be lovely while shopping for new sofa pillows or a cozy blanket to wrap up in. I’m really loving Salty Dog, too, and think it would be fabulous in kitchen cabinets or a coffee bar area.

When I Reach for Drama

Even though I love lighter wall colors for main living areas, I also love some drama in a powder room or office. I recently specified Taiga for an owner’s bedroom. And I think Roycroft Bronze Green would make for a lovely, moody office. Both Cordovan and Roycroft Bronze Green are also part of the Continuity Colors. That’s proof that a deep, saturated hue can be just as timeless as a soft neutral.

What This Color Story Really Means

The description Sherwin-Williams used for Revive, my favorite of this year’s themes, is “much-needed nostalgia and careful craftsmanship are restoring depth and human imprint to the spaces we inhabit.”

I think we’re returning to the idea of craftsmanship. To what it means to make something with our own hands, and to appreciate an object someone else made by hand. In today’s digital world, many of us are longing for simplicity. We want a real connection with the people and the earth around us.

There’s nothing like the feel of real materials and the saturated colors of nature to ground us. Once again, Sherwin-Williams shows us that they’re in touch with the people they serve. They understand the feeling we want to create in our spaces.

Our homes aren’t only a place we get to return to. They can be a little snapshot of how we want the world to look and feel to us.

Do the words Revive, Reignite, or Reconnect mean anything to you? And what would it look like to express that in your own home?

Here’s to a little more color and a little more craft.
