Behr Paint Company announced that this year’s color of the year is Canyon Dusk S210-4. With so many reasons to love this warm neutral, and one major plus is that its “neutrality serves as the foundation for an array of design styles.”
In other words: Canyon Dusk is the perfect base tone to either make the other colors in your space pop or to serve as its own flash of color in an otherwise fresh, blank space. We gathered some of their best inspiration pics to show you Canyon Dusk in action.

In the Breakfast Nook
Behr
We love the idea of starting the day with a cup of coffee in this little breakfast nook. Stark white walls with these black accents would certainly make a statement, but Canyon Dusk warms up the space and increases the cozy to a whole new level.

In the Living Room
Behr
Canyon Dusk was selected because it serves as a “comfortable and inspiring color meant to elevate space,” said Jodi Allen Global Chief Marketing Officer for Behr. “It’s a grounded, versatile color, but will fit with our existing spaces.”
This makes it particularly perfect for the living room, where it can easily warm up the space without distracting from your existing decor.

In the Kitchen or Dining Area
Behr
The true beauty of Canyon Dusk is how it pairs with other colors and textures. As Eika Woelfel, Vice President of Color and Creative Services suggested, pair it with a “flat or matte finish for a beautiful, subtle texture that really enhances the color itself.”
The kitchen is one space that naturally offers a ton of different textures, and when they’re set against a Canyon Dusk backdrop, it can pull the space together.

As a Low-Key Accent Color
Behr
Bold accent walls can be intimidating. If you don’t want to commit to a major pop of color, Canyon Dusk will play up the drama while still appearing fairly neutral.
If you’re curious about pairing Canyon Dusk with other shades in the Behr universe, you’re in luck. Behr notes that this shade is so versatile that it goes well with “jewel tones or pastels, making it a natural fit for modern, casual, and traditional styles.” Basically, everything.
“Canyon Dusk stands out against the soft and light of Smoky White BWC-13 and dramatic black of Broadway PPU18-20,” said the Behr team. They also suggested that “Behr’s Nocturne Blue HDC-CL-28 serves as a rich, complementary hue.”
Canyon Dusk and the 2021 Color Trends Palette are available now, exclusively at The Home Depot® stores nationwide.
