A reminder that Farrow & Ball's selection of trending colors for this year is stunning. The five-color palette trending for 2022 is "simple and familiar," says Joa Studholme, who is Farrow & Ball's color curator and advises on Farrow & Ball's color range.

The palette embodies a thoroughly cozy feel, and, similar to the Colors of the Year named by Sherwin-Williams, PPG, and Benjamin Moore, also includes a green. In Farrow & Ball's case, that green is Breakfast Room Green.

"There is something inherently human in the colors that we are attracted to for 2022 as well as in the way we use them," says Joa of the 2022 trending hues. Those colors include, in addition to Breakfast Room Green, Babouche, a bright, golden yellow; School House White, a soft white; Stone Blue, a dusty, saturated blue; and Incarnadine, a dark crimson.

Taken together, Joa predicts that the five colors all embody "the modest character of the world of folk and craft."

The palette also "extol[s] the virtues of a simple life and can be used in any combination and in any room. They are an eclectic mix of the pure and the humble that evokes the warmth and harmony of a more innocent age while celebrating life today. Function goes hand in hand with ornament, using colors and finishes in unusual ways to celebrate the principles of utility, kindness, and honesty."
