Pulling inspiration from fashion, technology, art and popular movements, paint manufacturer Dunn-Edwards has released its forecast of Color + Design Trends for 2024. A collection of 48 hues combining misty, ethereal midtones, quirky brights and strong earth colors, the four inspired color palettes project a sense of confidence and optimism, coziness, romance, escapism and youthfulness. Inspired by nature and bringing cottage life into daily routines, the hues pop with “optimism” and encourage “a future of unlimited possibility.” See all 48 at dunnedwards.com.
