Behr Paint announces Breezeway as 2022 Color of the Year

Behr Paint Company recently announced its 2022 Color of the Year, Breezeway MQ3-21, an approachable but noticeable color. The silvery green shade with cool undertones, part of the BEHR® 2022 Color Trends Palette, is inspired by the earth’s beauty and mimics naturally stunning sea glass found on the shore of salty beaches, notes a press communiqué from the California based company.

Breezeway evokes feelings of coolness and peace while representing a desire to move forward and discover newfound passions. Leading you from one place to the next, the color catches ones attention and is an open invitation to experience the world with a fresh perspective, both within the home and beyond the front door.

"A new year brings the opportunity to embrace a sense of renewal and pursue untapped passions," says Erika Woelfel, vice president of color and creative services at Behr Paint Company. “Whether it’s lacing up our hiking boots, or breaking out the gardening tools, Breezeway inspires us to fully embrace the hobbies or adventures, both near and far, that excite us. We look forward to a color that welcomes a hopeful sense of renewal, restoration and healing.”

Breezeway will be available in the brand's newest product innovation, BEHR DYNASTY™. The most advanced paint in company history, BEHR DYNASTY™ is a four-in-one product that offers DIYers, Pro painters and design professionals a unique product to deliver beautiful and durable results. It’s the most stain repellent, scuff-resistant- fast drying one-coat coverage paint all in one can within the BEHR product portfolio.

“BEHR DYNASTY is the result of our relentless drive to improve the painting experience, providing our most advanced paint ever with the rich color of BEHR® paints,” said Jodi Allen, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Behr Paint Company. “We are confident this new formula will provide everything paint professionals, designers and DIYers want in both performance and color.”

“BEHR DYNASTY offers our most stain repellent, scuff-resistant, fast-drying one-coat coverage paint all in one can,” said Jeff Kinnaird, EVP of merchandising for The Home Depot. “We believe this is the most innovative paint offering in years through our exclusive relationship with BEHR, and we’re thrilled to offer this innovation to our customers.
