The invigorating hue reflects our pursuit of consistency and well-being within our living spaces. Sue Kim, Valspar Director of Color Marketing, explains that the tone draws inspiration from fleeting natural elements like fog and glacier lakes.

‘Limitless’ is a warm honey beige that seeks to overthrow cool neutral tones and gray as go-to neutrals. “The modern neutral is so versatile that the ways to describe it are, well, limitless… but, no matter what it’s called, it’s anything but yellow,” describes Glidden Paint by PPG.
Ironside (Dutch Boy Paints)

‘Ironside’, a deep olive shade steeped in comfort and sophistication, adds a moody charm to both expansive areas and intimate corners. Like Cracked Pepper, this shade stems from a growing fascination for darker themes, although its calming green undertones invite occupants in the space to get cozy, wind down, and find inspiratoin.
