RoomMates Decor 2021 names Color of the Year

RoomMates Decor​, the peel and stick division of York Wallcoverings, revealed its 2021 Color of the Year: ​Green Aloe​. Green Aloe is accompanied by a palette of three additional colors — Cali Coral, Painted Desert, and Aqua Pura​ — that speak to biophilic design and trends in fashion.

“We selected Green Aloe as the RoomMates Color of the Year for a variety of reasons that all speak to  what our customer is feeling right now: a desire for change, positivity, evolution, and a fresh start,” said  Pierre-Jean Delaye, President of RoomMates. “It was important to us to capture the bold motion of 2021 as  we move past an incredibly challenging year — but at the same time, we wanted to tap into the anchoring,  healing power of nature and its many facets. This influenced our decision to expand into a full Biophilic  Palette.

Like Green Aloe, each color in RoomMates’ 2021 palette is rooted in biophilic design. Painted Desert is a rich earth tone that speaks to solid ground, stability, and spirituality. Aqua Pura offers the therapeutic, restorative effects of water in motion, and is a versatile hue that bridges the crossroads of pastels, brights, seafoam green tones, and mid-level blues. Cali Coral highlights the optimism of the new year.
