Pandemic Still Influences 2022 Colors of the Year
Crushed Velvet in Emerald
Artaic was highlighted in the Las Vegas Review-Journal in an article discussing color trends for 2022. The article featured commentary from Artaic’s Design Director, Kait Paradowski, and two of Artaic’s collection designs – Crushed Velvet in Emerald and Nebula in Twilight.
“In the fourth quarter of every calendar year, the Pantone Color Institute and all major paint manufacturers unveil their colors of the year. Designers and experts then spend the next few months weighing in on why certain colors and palettes were chosen, and how these choices reflect on society and design trends.
This year’s hues still undoubtedly reflect the pandemic’s impact. As color experts explain the 2022 choices, many speak to our desire to become less anchored by our environment or situation and to get out and enjoy nature. Here, a few experts share their thoughts on five different colors of the year, how they’re a reflection of our world today, and where we may see them in Las Vegas homes going forward.
Tile mosaics on walls in homes are another growing trend, and they’re also a great way to incorporate unique colors. Kait Paradowski, design director at Artaic, which uses proprietary software to design custom mosaics for rooms in homes, hears a need for earthy tones and the desire to reconnect with nature in her customer requests. But she also points to a request for happy blues, reds and yellows, those bases and pops inside the 2022 purple and green theme.
‘I think there will be a shift for people wanting to surround themselves with positive and joyful colors — golden yellow, Klein blue and bright magenta,’ she added.”
