It might seem a little premature to start thinking about 2022, but that’s not slowing down the Behr paint company. They have named their Color of the Year for 2022, and it’s the exact shade of my childhood bedroom! Welcome to Breezeway, a lovely, minty, seagrass shade of green that’s making me feel all kinds of nostalgic!
You can see more beautiful examples of Breezeway in action on the Behr website.

Adore it….it’s both neutral and a color at the same time. I’m totally over the cold gray that has dominated interiors for awhile now. You must have felt very relaxed in your childhood bedroom! My bedroom was turquoise and avocado green paisley (matching bedspread/wallpaper/curtains….and matching shag carpet). Such a fashionable, but horrendously ugly, duo of colors in the 70’s.

I loved my wall color, but my mother, who was a lovely woman, but not much of a decorator, made curtains and a bedspread out of something very like this, which ruined the coolness and calm of the wall color.

Violet I am over the gray as well!
Love this new color.
As a somewhat unrelated note I thought some of the Met Gala outfits may have been influenced by some of your Etsomina posts.

As a fellow seaglass fan, I definitely like that colour a lot. I think it is a hard colour to pull off in certain locations, however. You need the right level of sunlight for it to look crisp and fresh. Dull light makes it feel like a hospital corridor.

Yes! Easy for it to go institutional green, which is the color our house’s interior was painted when we first saw it. Literal institutional green, as in the owner was too cheap to buy paint and so stole some from the grade school where he worked.
