HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams’ Aleutian
Aleutian is a beautiful light washed indigo. This color smoothly washed across architectural details below and blends perfectly into the ceiling. In this example, Aleutian fits perfectly with the natural wood flooring and looks tremendous in the natural lighting.
With the effects of COVID-19 leading more and more people to work from home, we feel this shade provides a calm, elegant feel to any bedroom, or home office. Shades of light blue are always a favorite, so be ready to see this beautiful color in 2022.

Behr’s Breezeway
Behr’s Breezeway is a soft, silvery-green shade with cool undertones. With “Breezeway” being in the name itself, the name hints at moving from one space into the next.
Behr’s Breezeway is a very versatile color for 2022. We believe this color can be the foundation for various design styles, and can be used in a lot of different situations throughout your home or business. As it is versatile, we think the best fit for this color will be in a home office or living room. Be sure to balance Behr’s Breezeway with decor with natural colors like light-washed wood, stone, and cotton. Colors found in nature like creamy white, taupe, softened black, brown, nuanced pink and terra-cotta red also fit well with this color.
