Oceanside (SW 6496), a collision of rich blue with jewel-toned green that is both accessible and elusive is Sherwin-Williams 2018 Color of the Year. Sherwin-Williams describes Oceanside as a complex, deep color that offers a sense of the familiar with a hint of the unknown, bridging together a harmonious balance of blues and greens that can be found in what’s old and new.        

Oceanside can create a welcoming statement as a lively color for a front door or boost creative thinking and clarity of thought in a home office. It can also invite meditation and introspection into a bedroom or reading nook. Oceanside is universal when it comes to design style from mid-century modern to Mediterranean-inspired, traditional to contemporary.
