Every year, leading brands in the design industry unveil their color of the year, setting the tone for upcoming trends. But what really brings these colors to life? Texture, depth, and character from materials like stone and brick!
For this edition of The Creative Series, we curated mood boards that seamlessly blend the latest colors of the year with the rich textures of stone and brick. Drawing inspiration from industry leaders like Pantone, Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, and Krylon, we’ve crafted palettes that highlight how these trending hues interact with natural materials.
To maintain a cohesive aesthetic, we built each board on a light, neutral foundation, swapping out key elements—including stone and brick—to create the perfect balance of color and texture. The result? Five distinct yet cohesive palettes that showcase how stone and brick can elevate any color trend, adding depth, warmth, and timeless character to any space.
