Dutch Boy® Paints Announces 2024 One-Coat Color Trend Forecast
Consumers continue to re-examine their daily habits, placing an emphasis on those that enrich their lives. Self-care, meditation and healing practices are at the forefront, and the concept of home has evolved into a sanctuary for well-being. In support of this longing for consistency in the home and feeling of comfort, Dutch Boy® Paints unveils its 2024 One-Coat Color of the Year: Ironside, a deep olive shade with dark undertones that creates a level of comfortable sophistication.
“Creating a space for wellness should be a driving factor in everyday life,” said Ashley Banbury, NCIDQ and color marketing manager, Dutch Boy® Paints. “That’s why taking a natural approach to healthy living and safe spaces is a pivotal part of the current landscape. Dutch Boy® Paints’ 2024 One-Coat Color of the Year—the stunning, strong Ironside—incorporates all the above in one bold color and can be applied in one single coat.”
Ironside is rooted in comfort and creates a space that is elegant and charming. As dark shades become more appreciated in the home, this deep olive is versatile in wide-open spaces or enclosed comfy places, reflecting well-being from all angles.
Dutch Boy® Paints’ 2024 Color of the Year, Ironside, as well as all the shades in the complementing 2024 color palettes, are proven to be one-coat hide colors, providing a simple solution for DIYers. The brand’s tested one-coat colors deliver optimal coverage with just a single coat, helping achieve a beautifully finished project in three easy steps: (1) selecting a favorite one-coat trends color; (2) pairing it with Dutch Boy® premium paint and Purdy applicators; and (3) using the recommended technique to apply with confidence.
Ironside (422-7DB) lays the foundation for three designed color palettes that make up the Dutch Boy® Paints’ 2024 One Coat Color Trend Forecast. By building on the deep, olive tones of Ironside, these palettes deliver a multifaceted look that’s comforting and simple, while also embracing individual design styles:
