Paint Color of the Year 2013 Aloe
Aloe is the HOT color of 2013!
This year Sherwin-Williams and other professional paint companies announced Aloe (SW 6464) as the color of the year. Closely related to the Pantone color of the year, Emerald, Aloe is a light vintage green color. In fact, it’s part of the color collection Vintage Moxie at Sherwin-Williams.
If you follow women’s fashion, or shop in a department store, or have looked on Pinterest recently you will see “mint” colored pants, dresses, shirts, home accessories splattered all over! Aloe is a slightly more gray version of mint which keeps it from looking neon or juvenile on your walls.
This color is what we call a pseudo-neutral. It can be paired with a lot of other colors and not be the center of attention. Because of it’s vintage appeal it will look classic, yet fresh for years.
Pair Aloe with
- Neutrals
- Metallic
- Natural textures and colors
- Brighter colors like coral, yellow, blue
- Emerald green
I’m considering painting my office this color—just to liven things up!
We always recommend getting a sample of the paint and either using a product like Small Wall® to see where in your home you’d like it best.
