Valspar Picks Cottage Door as 2027 Color of the Year

The choice reflects a broader design shift toward soft minimalism and organic layering. According to Sue Kim, director of color marketing at Valspar, the shade is intended to serve as a versatile neutral that functions as a backdrop for both interior and exterior spaces. The company suggests pairing the blue with Moon Shot 8005-2B, a warm-toned gray, and Apricot Blush 8003-8A, a muted creamy pink, to enhance a sense of emotional well-being and simplicity within the home.

Cottage Door is currently available for purchase at Lowe’s locations nationwide, through the retailer's mobile app, and at independent hardware stores. To support the rollout, Valspar is offering free color consultations, digital visualization tools, and paint chip delivery services. The color can be applied across the brand's full range of products, spanning from interior wall paints and cabinet enamels to exterior wood stains and concrete coatings.
