It’s my favorite post of the year! Friends, today is the Sherwin-Williams 2023 Color of the Year announcement! Meet Redend Point SW 9081.
Redend Point is like capturing the soul of Southern Utah in a paint color. When I found out what the color was, I was like, this is familiar! It’s so similar to the natural color of the adobe in the Merc!
It’s a warm blush beige that feels like it’s been baked by the sun. Depending on the lighting, it will pull more brown or pink. It actually photographs a little more beige than it looks in real life.
This room was Dylan’s Small World bedroom, but with Ivie moving out and Dyl moving into her space (and not being a child anymore) we decided to turn this room into a guest room. We took down all of the Small World wall treatment, patched the holes and added simple box molding. It’s the same wall treatment that we did in my old office.
My favorite way to use a color like this is all over. Ceiling, walls, molding, baseboards, all of it. It’s such a classic way to make a statement and really celebrate the color! Elevating the design with molding makes it feel intentional and traditional as opposed to basic. I love the way the room turned out!
I will say that I had a little bit of a hard time finding a color to pair it with. Sherwin-Williams has some great pairing suggestions here. Mandi White, Tricorn Black SW 6258 (which I used on the doors), and natural linens are all easy answers, but I LOVE color and wanted something else. I found this great rust colored velvet chair on clearance for $130 and it was perfect!! It complements the red undertones of Redend Point in such a great way.
Redend Point is a color that can appear more beige or more blush depending on the light, so before you fully commit to the color, I highly recommend getting a sample. Thankfully, Redend Point is one of the colors that Sherwin-Williams offers in peel & stick samples! No mess, no dry time, no sample pots of paint, just peel it off and stick it to your wall! And they’re repositionable, so you can see how it looks and feels in different spots of your house at different times of the day! Peel & stick samples are available in 275 of Sherwin-Williams top selling colors and 50 Emerald® Designer Edition colors! You can get them here and they ship for free!
What do you think?! Are you a fan of the 2023 Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year?!
That magical little chair is sooo good with the paint color! best find ever.
Kind of a dusty rose? It’s so serene! I love it!
OMG !!! It’s beautiful !! Everything you do is amazing !! You have such an eye for the perfect !!! I wish you could lend me your brain for a couple of days !
I must say I’m a bit disappointed. I had created a more dynamic color in my mind. This is too reminiscent of a band-aid.
As usual, Mandy, you did amazing work.
So easy on the eyes. You paired it beautifully with various tones. Thank you for all the work in sharing this. SOOO fun!
I really love it! A “new neutral” in my world anyway 😄
I like this color! It’s an in-between sort of neutral that feels warm and cozy. I like how you paired it with the rusty red colors.
GORGEOUS. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Hi! Does this room color relax you? I’d love to possibly paint this color across from my evergreen fog wall in my living room/dining room open space and would love to know if this color would be soothing! How strong is the red of it?
I love this! It’s not at all what I was expecting but I’m all in! I’m scheming where to use it now and I’m obsessed with how your room turned out!
I have mixed feelings about that color. It is definitely very dramatic as an all-over color, but I like it better in smaller doses like in the Small World wall treatment. The color of that comforter feels off with it. The underrtones aren’t quite right; It’s too rusty red while the paint has more pinkish tones. Something green would probably work better. The chair is perfection! What a find for $130!
Serene, minimalist and a bit dull. I was looking toward a color that is energizing, symbolic of rebirth, more in keeping with the spirit of moving past the trouble of the past few years to brighter tomorrow.
