    Valspar, from the Sherwin-Williams Consumer Brands Group, announced “The Sound of Color” inspired by its 2021 Colors of the Year. 

     

    As people are seeking solace and calm like never before, Valspar is empowering us to take control of our environments and shape them to support our best selves.

     

    The 2021 Colors of the Year, announced in Sept. 2020, are 12 livable shades that evoke calm, serenity and simplicity, and were specially curated to help us take charge of physical spaces so they foster our best mental space. Especially now that our homes have become our offices, our entertainment centers, and even classrooms –– the colors, sights, and sounds that surround us are more critical than ever.

     

    Valspar is partnering with author, sound therapist and meditation teacher Sara Auster to bring consumers into the world of color through a multi-sensory experience. Her work includes calming visuals, unique sounds, and a one-of-a-kind color meditation experience. Auster has spent the past decade introducing sound baths to audiences across the globe.

     

    “I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with an iconic paint brand like Valspar,” Auster said. “Collaborating to bring these color meditations to life for each of the 2021 Colors of the Year was a truly unique experience. I hope these moments of pause we have created help consumers connect to comfort and wellbeing.”

     

    Valspar chose to partner with Auster for “The Sound of Color” because of her original teaching methods and transformative experiences. In today’s world, the colors, sights and sounds that surround us are more critical than ever before, and Valspar knew Auster’s ability to convert colors into soothing, calming, and uplifting experiences would connect with consumers.

     

    “This was a revolutionary idea for Valspar, taking the signature colors the brand is known for and creating a multi-sensory experience that goes much deeper than colors on a paint swatch,” said Sue Kim, Valspar color marketing manager. “We are very pleased with how this project turned out and think our customers will really enjoy interacting with our 2021 Colors of the Year on a whole new level.” 

     

    When forecasting the 2021 Colors of the Year, the color experts at Valspar observed global lifestyle trends that have shifted significantly from last year. The rise in external stressors has correlated with consumer’s increased interest in mindfulness and self-care activities. 

     

    Yoga, meditation, aromatherapy and other practices have gained traction and moved from fringe to mainstream in the past decade. In 2019 more than 20% of employers offered a mindfulness program – and that accelerated significantly throughout 2020.

     

    Each of the twelve 2021 Colors of the Year includes a guided visualization and a breath practice experience. Six of the colors include meditations to calm, relax and soothe while the other six colors include meditations to focus, energize and uplift.
