2027 Colors of the Year and Complimentary Terra Nova Varieties
Behr’s Grounded is a nature-inspired, mossy olive green that creates a sense of balance and comfort. Its earthy brown undertones pair well with the chocolate-brown spotting on the leaves of Terra Nova’s Podophyllum ‘Spotty Dotty’. The depth and dimension of Grounded is also seen in the foliage of Begonia T Rex® ‘Dancing Peacock’, Begonia T Rex ‘Painter’s Palette’, and Begonia T Rex ‘St. Nick’.
The energy of Dutch Boy’s Deep Rooted, an earthy orange, is echoed in the petals of Coreopsis Nova® ‘Amber’, Echinacea ‘Big Kahuna’, and Echinacea ‘Flame Thrower’. Several heucheras and heucherellas from Terra Nova also showcase the playfulness of Deep Rooted with their foliage colors and textures, including Heuchera Fyre Wing™ ‘Amber’, Heuchera Northern Exposure™ ‘Amber’, Heuchera ‘Rio’, Heucherella ‘Brass Lantern’, Heucherella ‘Buttered Rum’, and Heucherella ‘Sweet Tea’.
Rose Earth from Graham & Brown is a warm, earthy, muted rose, and its blend of pink, brown, and terracotta-inspired tones can be seen in the foliage of Heuchera ‘Changeling’, Heuchera ‘Crème Brule’, Heuchera Fyre Wing ‘Rhodonite’, and Heuchera ‘Topaz Jazz’. Sedum ‘Mocha Magic’ and Thalictrum Nova ‘Star’ also serve as strong companion plants.
Sherwin-Williams’ Celery is a soft yet fresh light-green with warm yellow tinges that feels both invigorating and calming. These feelings are reflected in the blooms of Terra Nova’s Antirrhinum Revelation® ‘Cream’, Echinacea Cara Mia™ ‘Sands’, Echinacea Delightful™ ‘Lace’, Echinacea Prima™ ‘Aura’, Echinacea Prima ‘Lime’, Echinacea Puff® ‘Vanilla’, and Echinacea Sundial™ ‘Zenith’.
Cottage Door by Valspar, a greyed-out blue shade, celebrates beauty with its warm and inviting traces of color. This nontraditional neutral offers appeal similar to Terra Nova’s Brunnera ‘Alexander’s Great’ and Melianthus ‘Antonow’s Blue’, both showcasing corresponding hues in their foliage. Other companion plants for Cottage Door from Terra Nova include Pulmonaria ‘Silver Bouquet’ and Pulmonaria ‘Silver Scimitar’.
