How to Get Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Year in Your Home, STAT

When this teal-toned hue first blew onto the scene during our jewel-tone obsession, we figured the vibrant, rich shade was destined for dramatic decor. But then Joanna Gaines showed us that it could be midcentury cool or farmhouse chic too. Pretty soon, we were seeing it everywhere, but we didn’t know what quite to call it (dark turquoise? teal? blue tansy?). Luckily, Sherwin-Williams has put an end to the mystery by declaring the hue — Oceanside, in their words — the color of the year for 2018. And we can certainly see why: Dramatic yet accessible, the color has surprising versatility. It can jump from boho to modern to classic and back again, and it shows off new character in different lights. Put another way? We’re obsessed.
