Sherwin-Williams announced Evergreen Fog SW 9130 , a color rooted in nature, as its 2022 Color of the Year. In this soft, organic shade, we find meaning, a place to heal and a lasting peace.
Sherwin-Williams 2022 Color of the Year
Evergreen Fog SW 9130
Evergreen Fog SW 9130 is a versatile and calming hue, a chameleon color of gorgeous green-meets-gray, with just a bit of blue. It’s a simple but sophisticated wash of beautiful, organic color for spaces that crave a subtle yet stunning statement shade.
Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams, says she knew green was going to be an important color for 2022. But she and her team wanted to pick the perfect green for the Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year. “We didn’t want it to be too dark or something you’d necessarily relegate to a cabinet or a piece of furniture or an accent wall,” she says. “We wanted it to be a color you could put on all four walls — and have it look really beautiful.” Evergreen Fog SW 9130 (215-C4) stood out as the winning hue. “It’s not in your face,” Wadden says. “It’s a little more subtle, a little more recessive and a little more relatable.”
How to Use 2022 Color of the Year: Evergreen Fog
Evergreen Fog is a fairly flexible color but looks best when partnered with the right finishes, textures, and colors.
Coordinating Colors
Evergreen Fog looks amazing with Shoji White SW 7042, Urbane Bronze SW 7048, Accessible Beige SW 7036, Über Umber SW 9107, Woven Wicker SW 9104, and Bakelite Gold SW 6368. All colors are from the Method palette of the Sherwin-Williams Colormix® Forecast 2022.
You should always sample paint color in the space you intend to use it before you start putting it on your walls. (We mail 8″ x 10″ paint swatches of our recommendations to our Virtual Color Consultation clients.)
Stone and Tile
Organic, natural stone and unfinished, raw surfaces have a more artisanal look that blends especially well with Evergreen Fog.
Wood
When it comes to wood finishes, Evergreen Fog is a natural match. Rough textured cuts and wood grains have a warm, effortlessly natural feel that blends beautifully with the 2022 Color of the Year.
Metals
A balanced mix of warmer metallics pairs beautifully with Evergreen Fog. Brushed gold, tarnished silver, and matte black finishes are standouts.
Textiles
Course, natural fabrics with rough surfaces add a tactile, yet somehow soft look — think tweeds and untreated yarns. These fabrics, along with organic materials and natural shapes, provide a beautiful complement.

Hello, I like the color for exterior of our home, can this paint be used outside.?
Yes, Evergreen Fog makes a great exterior color, but you must make sure the actual paint product itself is specified for exterior use. Talk to your local Sherwin-Williams in-store pro about what they recommend. I’d take a look at Sherwin-Williams Duration. Good luck!
