Valspar has announced Encore 8002-45G the color of the year 2025.
“Encore is a color for every space and every application. Its atmospheric, deep blue tones reflect both the elusive luxury of Old World design and the futuristic fusion of our physical and digital worlds, making it a color that feels simultaneously familiar and unexpected,” says Sue Kim, color marketing manager at Valspar. “This makes it an ideal backdrop to ground a space and leave room for spirited pops of color in complementary colors. Thanks to its versatility, Encore can also shine on its own through playful applications indoors and outdoors, such as on wood, patios or concrete pavers.”
Encore stands out because nearly any Valspar paint product – including a variety of paint and stain formulas for interior and exterior, cabinets and furniture, metal and concrete – can be tinted in this shade. From interior walls, cabinets and furniture to outdoor patios, sheds, concrete and more, Encore invites both novice and experienced DIYers to create an environment where artistry and imagination abound.
“When everyday stress reaches its peak, we are often compelled to build rest and relaxation into our routines, lifestyle and environment,” says Kim. “Encore allows us to strive for more by reclaiming our imagination and embracing a more joyful version of adulthood. From form to function to color, our home is a place where we rejuvenate and find happiness with our family, friends and community.”
To further promote the Color of the Year, Valspar partnered with popular social media influencers from the home improvement sector, including Renee Bruner, Nick Starett, Kanisha Jenkins, Imani Keal, Kyle Oritz and Megan OlivottiCheck out their projects in the gallery below.
