The Power of Nature

​The urge to reconnect with nature in today’s tumultuous society was a reoccurring theme during our annual Global Color Workshop, which brings together more than 20 PPG global color stylists from the automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace and residential paint industries.

“Night Watch is about bringing the healing power from the outdoors into your home through color," explains Dee Schlotter, PPG senior color marketing manager. "The dark green hue pulls our memories of natural environments to the surface to recreate the calming, invigorating euphoria we feel when in nature."

How To Use Night Watch

Our Color of the Year can be incorporated as a focal accent wall in a bedroom or dining room. It can be especially impactful in places without any view or tie to the outdoors, like the end of a windowless hallway. For exteriors, Night Watch is a gorgeous alternative to the trending black or deepest blue-black, and it works well as an accent on doors and shutters.
