Tying it back to Sherwin-Williams ’ Color of the Year , Redend Point is an example of a warm color that pairs especially well with cooler tones . “ Named after a sandstone rock formation in the United Kingdom , Redend Point is an example of nature highlighting how some colors work well together . In photos of the formation , you can see the reddish-sand color of the rock wall paired with the gray pebbles on the beach . If nature can pull off a combo of warm and cool colors , so can you ,” Crowder encouraged .

“ Modern farmhouse continues across the country , but right alongside that is modern contemporary , transitional styles . These designs continue to grow in popularity on both the inside and outside of our homes ,” Juedes explained .
