This year is all about earth colors. The 2017 Pantone Color of the Year is “Greenery,” a bright, bold plant-inspired hue, and now another earthy tone is shaping up to be a major trend in the coming months, as well. “Mushroom” is the warm, grayish taupe that’s taking over Pinterest, and it’s a fun and easy neutral hue to incorporate into your home decor.

There are several variations of this color – you can go for a cooler tone like “Creamy Mushroom” from Behr or an option closer to beige, such as “Sautéed Mushroom” from Olympic. Whatever option you choose, though, you’re sure to love how the calm, neutral shade enhances your living space.
