Sherwin Williams announces 2019 Color of the Year

Wednesday, September 12, 2018

[Chicago] Sherwin Williams today announced its 2019 Color of the Year: Cavern Clay.

A warm terracotta color with ancient, elemental roots, Cavern Clay SW 7701 is a nod to midcentury modern style, but with the soul of the American Southwest, which together creates a desert modern aesthetic, the company said.

This warm, earthy hue is both casual and refined. The company said that it can be the backdrop of a playful, welcoming dining room or kitchen when paired with bright tiles, warm stone and sculptural greenery. Complementary materials include leather, simple woodgrains and indigenous cacti in contemporary, sleek gardening planters.

Cavern Clay is an easy way to bring the warmth of the outdoors in. Envision beaches, canyons and deserts and sun-washed late summer afternoons—all of this embodied in one color.

Grounded authenticity fused with adventure — the 2019 Color of the Year captures the carefree spirit of the American Southwest.

Burnished and earthen, bohemian and free, independent and wild — the 2019 Color of the Year is what the company called "grounded authenticity fused with adventure."
