Five Star Painting Franchise

Sherwin-Williams is one of the main products Five Star Painting uses. They provide us with great quality and service. Jackie Jordan, Director of Color Marketing for Sherwin-Williams, has  accommodated Five Star with impressive material regarding a few colormix collections that will bring your home to life.

As consumers continue to navigate today’s uncertain times, they are finding comfort in the memories and traditions that provide them with a sense of solid ground. Color plays a key role in triggering that nostalgia, and for that reason, the Sherwin-Williams color forecast for 2010 takes its cue from hues of the past to paint the way to the future.

Reflecting the rediscovery of the sights, sounds, smells ― and colors ― of the past, the 24 shades selected by Sherwin-Williams color experts for colormix 2010 are grouped into four collections: Rooted, Treasured, Simplified and Refreshed.

Rooted

The journey of color rediscovery begins by drawing inspiration from the world’s oldest, most enduring civilizations, including the rich, dynamic colors of aboriginal, African and Native American cultures.

As today’s economy continues to shift the consumer’s sense of stability and control, we see more and more people turning to reliable and trusted elements of life, such as family and close circles of friends. The Rooted collection represents this trend, with colors that stem from tribal influences and evoke feelings of comfort, strength and security.

Infused with inspiration from cultural artifacts such as animal print fabrics and wooden musical instruments, the Rooted palette mixes the natural with the bold and vibrant. Colors that are brought to life are the neutral tones that include the earthy colors such as, Nomadic Desert (SW 6107) , Rockwood Amber (SW 2817), Foothills (SW 7514), as well as the saturated tones of spicy Red Tomato (SW 6607) and deep-blue Oceanside (SW 6496). The palette is rounded out with Darkroom (SW 7083), a blackened purple reflecting the mystery and mystique of the cultures at the heart of this collection.

Treasured

Beyond reconnecting to their roots, today’s financial strains are leading consumers to rediscover the treasures of yesteryear.

By making more resourceful use of what they already have, many are uncovering a rich collection of historical items to surround themselves with as they update their spaces. In that rediscovery, they are often surprised and energized to find a beautiful palette of colors inspired by their heirlooms.

The time-tested shades of the Treasured collection evoke the warm, comforting memories of times past. Many of the colors are muted shades of brighter tones. Caribbean Coral (SW 2854), for example, is a softer, retro alternative to the vibrant hue that maintains its popularity in design. Interactive Cream (SW 6113) provides a neutral without too much flash, and yellowed Sequin (SW 6394) adds a serene glow to the mix.

The darker side of this palette begins with Smoky Blue (SW 7604), layered with shades of gray and indigo that mirror the deep stories of our past. Sturdy Brown (SW 6097) brings in the beauty of old, handmade artisan crafts, and the faded verdigris of Gallery Green (SW 0015) adds a touch of antiquity with its emerald tone.

Simplified

This collection stays true to its name with colors that, when combined, create a sophisticated style that embodies a “less is the new more” spirit.

The colors in this collection appear simple on the surface, but are complex when given a closer look. The palette reflects the current trend to pare down the extravagancies in our lives, but the hues still allow for intricate and elegant designs.

Translucency connects the colors in this collection, providing versatility to any space with shades that change and shift in the light. Paired with transparent fabrics and finishes, clarity, subtlety and serenity are apparent in every hue.

The Simplified collection offers a palette for a discerning eye with just a small dash of color. The neutral tones of Whitetail (SW 7103), Butter Up (SW 6681) and Moderate White (SW 6140) make up the foundation, and gray also plays an important role, with the mid-tone Magnetic Gray (SW 7058) and darker Serious Gray (SW 6256). The muted lilac shade of Enigma (SW 6018) offers an intriguing accent well-suited for this sophisticated palette.

Refreshed

The Refreshed collection features vibrant and forward colors to evoke a sense of optimism for the future.

The exuberant shades of Refreshed enliven the spirit and turn the focus to more carefree days. While not as saturated as some accent colors of collections past, these hues still reflect the optimism that can always be found within us, even as we navigate challenging times.

Fresh florals, sunny days and tropical blooms are the inspiration behind this collection. Get lost in the botanical garden of Sapphire (SW 6963) and Verve Violet (SW 6979), and indulge in the sunshine of Fun Yellow (SW 6908). Pickle (SW 6725), along with the grapefruit and tangerine tones of Animated Coral (SW 6878) and Summer Day (SW 6662), also add fun flavor to this palette.

Together, the vivid hues of the Refreshed collection create a lively, harmonious palette to offset the darker realities of today’s uncertain times. What’s more, when added individually to another collection, these colors can offer a bright reminder of better days to come.
