The GLIDDEN paint brand won't be announcing a 2020 Color of the Year, according to PPG.
While other paint brands are celebrating their varying “it” paint colors for the next year, Glidden paint said it wants to help "do-it-yourselfers (DIYers) and procrastipainters alike get rolling on the paint projects they’ve been putting off by cutting ties with trends and simplifying the color selection process."
On Sept. 6, Glidden paint unveiled Whirlwind (PPG1013-3), described as a fail-proof cool gray with a touch of blue.
“Grays have been trending for more than a decade,” said Kim Perry, Glidden paint’s color guru. “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it! Whirlwind was one of our top tinted colors this year, so DIYers can rest easy knowing they can enjoy it for years to come. Instead of staring blankly at a paint color card questioning all your life choices, you can spend time doing what you really want to do. Like drinking wine or binge-watching TV in your freshly painted living room.”
Try using Whirlwind on the walls of a galley kitchen, pairing it with navy blue cabinets and quartz countertops, or in a living room layered with various shades of gray and canary yellow accent pillows – the combination represents sunshine and happiness, if that’s your thing, according to Perry.
Pair Whirlwind on the exterior of your home with a vibrant red door and gray deck furniture – making everyone in the cul-de-sac stare with envy and sheer admiration, per Perry.
“Think of Whirlwind as your easy-to-get-along-with color that’s an alternative to basic white or beige,” Perry added. “Gray colors whisper, while other colors scream on your wall. Not literally – but who wants a screaming anything in their house?”
