On Sept. 1, 2022, Dutch Boy unveiled its 2023 Color of the Year: Rustic Greige, a charming, earthy neutral that adds a touch of sophistication to any room. Rustic Greige is a unique brown gray with a subtle red undertone. With its deep, matte finish and bold yet refined color, this versatile shade creates the illusion of being slightly worn, amplifying its charm and warmth. Embrace your coziness with Rustic Greige in your next interior project or outdoor design.

"The importance of overall well-being remains a primary focus in everyday lives," said Ashley Banbury, NCIDQ and senior color designer, Dutch Boy^® Paints. "That's why more DIYers are dedicating time and energy to designing personal spaces that make them feel cozy, protected and calm. Dutch Boy® Paints' 2023 One-Coat Color of the Year—the beautiful, versatile Rustic Greige—is all about the need to escape, relax and recharge. It's about retreating to a calmer, simpler lifestyle inspired by the peace and clarity of tones derived from nature."
