Wondering what colour to paint your apartment living room? Wonder no more. Leading paint manufacturers Sherwin Williams have done the job for you with the announcement of their colour of the year for 2017. And the winner is… Poised Taupe SW 6039.
 
According to their site, the grey-brown colour “creates a cozy lifestyle and brings a sense of sanctuary into our homes. It diffuses the stresses of the world outside our doors — so much so that we feel restored and in balance when we walk across our threshold.”

So, if you’re selecting paint colours, Poised Taupe is the way to go. At least, until 2018’s colour is announced…
