the BEHR\u00ae 2027 Color of the Year, Grounded, an earthy olive green that reflects the growing shift toward nature-inspired design across the built environment.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPositioned between moss and olive with subtle brown undertones, Grounded delivers the presence of a statement color while maintaining the versatility professionals need across hospitality, healthcare, workplace, education, multifamily, retail, and residential projects.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhether you&#8217;re specifying finishes for a new build, planning a renovation, or selecting colors for your next commercial job, Grounded represents the continued evolution of the neutral palette, helping professionals create environments that feel current today and enduring for years to come.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGrounded reflects today&#8217;s demand for colors that balance warmth, versatility, and enduring design across commercial and residential job sites.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhether designing a boutique hotel, restaurant, or amenity space, Grounded creates an atmosphere that feels welcoming without sacrificing sophistication. Its rich undertones evolve naturally throughout the day, adding dimension that continues to reveal itself as lighting conditions change.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nModern workplaces are shifting toward environments that support focus, collaboration, and well-being. Grounded complements natural materials, layered textures, and contemporary finishes, giving offices a refined backdrop that feels equally suited for collaborative spaces and executive environments, across tenant improvements, workplace refreshes, and ground-up commercial projects.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nHealthcare environments increasingly prioritize comfort alongside functionality. Grounded introduces a restorative presence that helps waiting areas, patient spaces, and wellness environments feel calm, considered, and connected to nature without overwhelming the architecture.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nEducational environments benefit from colors that encourage concentration while creating spaces students and educators enjoy spending time in. Grounded offers a sophisticated alternative to traditional neutrals, bringing warmth, depth, and balance to classrooms, libraries, and campus common areas, without limiting flexibility across future phases or facility updates.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGrounded transitions effortlessly from interiors to exterior applications. Whether featured as an accent or across larger architectural surfaces, it pairs beautifully with wood, stone, concrete, and metal finishes to create timeless curb appeal across multifamily and mixed-use developments.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nToday&#8217;s commercial environments are designed to do more than function. They&#8217;re expected to foster connection, support well-being, and leave a lasting impression. Grounded helps professionals achieve all three, delivering the versatility of a neutral with the presence of a statement color across projects of every scale.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTo explore the BEHR\u00ae 2027 Color of the Year, visit behr.com\/2027coty.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogs-article__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"8256\" height=\"5504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/pro\/onthejob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BEHRPRO_25_12_HOSP_JS_014_Grounded-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-read-more size-read-more\" alt=\"\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogs-article__tags d-flex align-items-center\">\n                                                <div class=\"blogs-article__tag\">Trends<\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogs-article__header lines-overflow\">\n            2027 Color of the Year: Grounded        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"blogs-article__additional d-flex align-items-center\">\n        <div class=\"blogs-article__author\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/pro\/onthejob\/author\/gabriella-levin\" class=\"d-flex align-items-center\"><span class=\"sr-only\">Go to author&#8217;s page<\/span>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/pro\/onthejob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Gabriella-Headshot.jpg\" alt=\"Gabriella Levin\" \/>\n                    <p>Gabriella Levin<\/p>\n                <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogs-article__date\">2 weeks ago<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>                                <div class=\"col-md-5 col-sm-6 col-12\">\n<div class=\"blogs-article\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/pro\/onthejob\/blog\/2026-exterior-stain-color-of-the-year-2\/\" class=\"blogs-article__link\">\n        <div class=\"blogs-article__description d-none\">\n            Wood stains shape both the look and longevity of outdoor surfaces while highlighting the natural character of the material.
