Dutch Boy’s 2023 Color of the Year: Rustic Greige Brings Comfort and Versatility
After a period of uncertainty, Dutch Boy Paints aims to bring comfort back into homes with their 2023 Color of the Year: Rustic Greige. This warm and understated neutral evokes a sense of coziness in any room.
A Versatile Foundation for Your Decor
Rustic Greige is an incredibly versatile color, appealing to a wide range of decor styles. It complements both warm and cool tones, bridging the gap between the popular cool grays and the emerging trend towards warmer colors. This makes it a perfect choice for those transitioning their homes from one style to another.
According to Ashley Banbury, senior color expert at Dutch Boy Paints, “People want their homes to be comfortable, and color plays a key role in creating that atmosphere.”
Rustic Greige can be used effectively in any room, from entryways and foyers to sitting rooms and kitchen cabinets. It can also be used to soften bolder colors or create a neutral backdrop for furniture and built-ins.
Three Color Palettes to Inspire Your Space
To showcase the versatility of Rustic Greige, Dutch Boy Paints has created three distinct color palettes:
Plush: This palette combines Rustic Greige with Ultra White, Silvered Purple, and Ebony Sky to create a luxurious and inviting space. It evokes elements of softness, warmth, and comfort.
Wistful: Inspired by vintage aesthetics, this palette pairs Rustic Greige with Maize, Superhero, and Glamorized Green. The pastel-leaning colors are neutralized by Rustic Greige, creating a nostalgic and approachable design.
Botanic: With a focus on nature, this palette combines Rustic Greige with Amberwood, Industrialized, and Limestone Slate. The soft pink, almost-blue gray, and greenish-gray hues work together to create a serene and harmonious atmosphere.
