Color Series: Redend Point

Redend Point SW 9081 has the distinguished honor of being named the Sherwin Williams color of the year for 2023. Sherwin Williams invites you to “Embrace a spirit of connection with the world around us with this soulful-yet-subtle hue.” It is described as “minimal, calming, and intriguing.” It can soften a space and has a coordinating palette of “warm, earthy hues” for pairing.

Architectural Digest, in describing this color of the year, says that “Standing apart from the comparative coolness of Evergreen Fog, Urbane Bronze, and Naval— Sherwin-Williams’s three prior colors of the year—Redend Point speaks to the gradual warming of neutrals in the 2020s after a decade defined by taupes and grays.” Designers are declaring that this shift is welcome, refreshing, and here to stay.

There are many ways to incorporate Redend Point in to your kitchen design. It can become an alternate neutral option, replacing traditional beiges and tans. It pairs as an unexpected pop of color when used with a crisp white. It can say vintage, modern, mid-century, or southwest. And, if you are considering a whole house refresh, this color can go well beyond your kitchen with ease.

Muted Palate

Redend Point acts as an anchor for a muted, earthy palette. Consider pairing it with cabinets painted with Foothills SW 7514, which is a soft, rich medium brown, or go with cabinets in Toile Red SW 0006, a muted red which adds a natural brick feeling to the color scheme.  Consider flipping the script, and use Redend Point as your cabinet color and Pure White SW 7005, Cool Beige SW 9086 or Malted Milk  SW 6057.

Southwest Refresh

It pairs with clean desert architecture and earthy clay pots, warm terra cotta tiles, and warm wood cabinets and exposed beams.
