CLEVELAND–(BUSINESS WIRE)–wax®, America’s #1 selling brand of interior wood stains and varnishes*, today announced its 2022 color of the year, Gentle Olive. The color is a calming sage green with hints of gray that takes on the natural hue of wood to connect homeowners with timeless style.
“Over the past two years, we’ve made our home a cozier place — a place that focuses on our well-being, where we relax and clear our minds,” says Sue Kim, Color Marketing Manager at Minwax. “This year’s Minwax Color of the Year reflects a search for serenity in our shifting routines, as Gentle Olive creates a meditative mood that instills everyday optimism at home.”
