Sherwin Williams’ Pick for 2018’s Hottest Color
By Melissa Dittmann Tracey, REALTOR® Magazine
A rich blue with jewel-toned greens is forecasted to be 2018’s hottest color of the year, according to Sherwin Williams, which unveiled its 2018 Color of the Year choice this week. Other paint companies will be announcing their paint choices over the next few weeks.
Oceanside SW 6496 is a statement color. It can add a bold, attention-getting pop to wall colors, furnishings, accessories, and even a home’s front door.
“Green-blues in deep values, such as Oceanside, respond to changes in light, which is a quality that creates intense dimension,” says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “It is a tremendously versatile color, and harmonizes with other diverse color groups.”
Oceanside is reminiscent of a marine-inspired look. But Sherwin Williams says the color can be woven into practically any design style, from mid-century modern to Mediterranean, traditional, or contemporary. Sherwin Williams says the color is versatile enough to be paired with any number of other colors, from hot pinks, yellows to navy or sky blues.
For 2017, Sherwin Williams had selected Poised Taupe (SW 6039) as the hot color. The company has been pushing the brownish-gray hue into more color schemes this year. Sherwin Williams had predicted taupe to become the next “it” color base for many homes today, edging out the popularity of gray.
But for 2018, Sherwin Williams is returning to a bolder shade for its hot-pick.
“People today have a growing sense of adventure, and it is making its way into even the coziest corners of our homes,” Wadden says. “We are craving things that remind us of bright folklore, like mermaids and expeditions across continents. Oceanside is the color of wanderlust right in our own homes.”

He was outstand and exceptionally informed. Always giving me information that would have totally bypassed me. Very down to earth but professional. As a first-time buyer I had done some research regarding the process but it's different when it is actually being done.

“It is a genuine pleasure and honor for me to recommend Jonathan Perea. Lets face it selling your home, moving and buying something new is a stressful ordeal. My family and I lived in our home for almost 20 years. It was where we raised our kids and enjoyed all that life offered. So when we decided it was time to move it was an emotional time because our house was apart of our lives. Jonathan Perea was one of three realtors we interviewed. His professionalism, personality, industry knowledge and track record of success shined and we knew halfway through the interview he was the one we would trust to help us through the process. As soon as we signed the initial paperwork to contract Jonathan as our realtor he got right to work. He made sure to educate us on the process and explained in full detail every requirement and answered every question we had to ensure we were comfortable and understood the process. Jonathan met every commitment on time and made it seem as though we were his top priority. He is well organized and truly driven to exceed our expectations. Without exception, he put us first or at least it appeared that way. I suppose doing well in business is easy if you are, as he is, driven in equal measure by both quality and efficiency. If you are looking for a top notch realtor in the Inland Empire look no further Jonathan Perea is your guy. Dennis”
