Meet Oceanside: The Sherwin-Williams 2018 Color Of The Year

Sherwin Williams Oceanside, color of the year 2018.

Meet Oceanside the Sherwin-Williams 2018 Color of the Year. This blue is intense, rich, and lustrous. This shade nestles itself someplace between the colors of deep indigo and peacock blue. Indeed, you can apply this shade anyplace in your home for a posh feeling.

Last year’s shade was Poised Taupe, a lavish neutral. On the other hand, Oceanside is a color choice that’s bold. However, a refreshing hint of green undertone keeps the blue grounded and neutral. You may add pops of color or treat entire rooms with this color.

Of course, the choice is yours. How bold can you go?
