As the outside world grapples with rising uncertainty, Canadians are yearning for increased serenity and stability inside their homes. This trend has spurred SICO paint brand by PPG to select Melt Water (6156-63) – a grounded, refreshing teal that combines the healing powers of water and nature with balance and tranquility – as its 2023 Colour of the Year.
Melt Water is a robust and refined bluish-greenish tone that intertwines bold blue and calming green to create a captivating color symbolic of deep water. Its adaptable blue-jeweled hue sets a soothing, serene mood in spaces, while its emerald nuances evoke feelings of equilibrium. Paired together, these two undertones create an ultra-rich, uber-trendy color that blends well with contemporary designs or adds a refined pop of color to traditional decor.
“On the other side of the pandemic, people are looking for a mental reset and want to infuse their homes with invigorating colors that help give them a boost as well as refuge in today’s unpredictable world,” said Martin Fuchs, PPG senior marketing manager, Sico paint brand. “Melt Water accomplishes just that with its energizing yet grounding vibe. It’s symbolic of a newfound outlook and works exceptionally well in any space – both interior and exterior.”
To incorporate trending teal into the home, Sico paint brand offers these tips:
• Paint Melt Water on all four walls, paired with deeper-toned woods and off-white trim.
• For a more luxurious feel, Melt Water can go glam when accessorized with golden accents and bright white trim.
• Enjoy the understated elegance of a teal accent wall or serve up a statement by featuring Melt Water on kitchen cabinetry.
• Even the most modest spaces can benefit from the teal treatment. If short on square footage but big on style, use this rich hue as a bold contrast to a neutral palette, making a petite room feel plush.
• As an exterior, use a blue-green hue to punctuate a home’s personality, adding immediate curb appeal when featured on a front door.
Among the other popular 2023 colors unveiled by Sico paint brand are equally bold and soothing deep greenish-gray, forest green, muted terracotta and coppery brown hues. The brand’s Ancient Lava (6208-73), Boreal Forest (6167-83), Brown Tobacco (6189-52) and Faux Leather (6068-83) all pair beautifully with Melt Water.
All of Sico paint brand’s 2023 colors are one-coat paint colors available in recently introduced SICO PRESTIGE paint, which Fuchs described as one of the brand’s best paints ever. The palette is also available in one-coat protection Sico Super Premium Exterior paint.
