HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams' 2021 Color Palette Dares to Delight Us All

Enter Delightfully Daring: HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams’ rich, yet airy 2021 color collection. The 10-toned, nature-inspired palette evokes the comfort we've all been craving — starting with its cornerstone and HGTV Home’s Color of Year, Passionate (think a glass of Merlot backlit by the coziest lamp in your home). Loaded with deep jewel tones as well as lighter hues, Delightfully Daring boasts a color story both minimalists and maximalists can appreciate. In fact, we may find Scandinavian-lovers adding Pale Apricot to their mood boards while grand-millennials spiral down inspiration-induced Pinterest rabbit holes. Even Bohemian gurus will thrive amidst all the earthy, Southwestern-inspired hues. There's a color-combo for everyone.

The full breakdown — and how to incorporate these hues in your home — lies ahead.

A warmer, more familiar alternative to plain black, we'll dub Dark Bronzetone as the metallic trophy of the palette. We want fresh comfort in 2021, and this deep brown is bringing winning energy.

How You Can Use It

“Bold, dark walls are having a moment,” says Maryn Liles, senior editor, HGTV Magazine. “They can add elegance and drama to a dining room or make a small powder room pop. And this shade has slightly bronze-y tones, which is a fresh (and more approachable!) take on plain black. To make it work in your home, pair Dark Bronzetone walls with a stand-out metallic light fixture. It'll add some brightness and create a focal point where your eyes can rest.”

Bright-eyed Diamond Weave — with its oatmealy essence — pays homage to one of the biggest of-the-moment trends in home design: cane furniture (a.k.a this special neutral rocks).

How You Can Use It

“This tone is totally vintage, and that’s why I love it,” says Kathleen Knowles, editorial assistant, HGTV Magazine. “I’d use it to brighten up a bathroom. It’s the perfect neutral backdrop for a fun shower curtain.”

True neutrals create a foundation for color palettes, and Bohemian Lace is no exception. This dreamy shade works with every single Delightfully Daring hue. And are those pale pink undertones we see?

How You Can Use It

“This entire collection could work in a traditional space as well,” says Jackie McGilvray, editor, HGTV.com. “Peach tones like the Pale Apricot are becoming very popular; used with Diamond Weave, Bohemian Lace and just a touch of Dark Bronzetone can create a soft, very Zen environment.”
