Moon Drop
Get on board with off-white walls, a designer trick for highlighting a room’s architecture and fine details. If you love white but want more depth, ask Painters Calgary to paint this shade to your chosen room.

October Mist
If the past two years have taught us anything, it’s how much we appreciate time spent in nature. It’s no surprise that Benjamin Moore chose this serene, meditative shade as its 2022 Color of the Year.

Upward
We’re thrilled to see the resurgence of this steely blue. With just a hint of grey, it feels calming but not so powdery that it reads as childlike. It’s charismatic yet mature enough to suit home libraries and bedrooms with ease.

Breezeway
Behr’s 2022 Color of the Year is nothing short of fabulous. This soft yet fresh hue naturally harmonizes with shades of white, grey and organic wood tones.

Twilight Jungle
A powdery chocolate hue with a rusty undertone, this is the colour your cabinets have been craving. Rich, earthy brown on cabinets is a fashionable departure from the dark navy or forest green that have been popular of late.

Smoked Trout
Inspired by nature, this sophisticated and grown-up take on coral pink is a romantic complement to the greens that plant lovers lean toward. This mushroom-like hue looks best in rooms filled with natural light.
