[00:00:00] Eric Goranson: It's around the house when it comes to remodeling and renovating your home. There is a lot to know though. We've got you covered. This is around the house. Welcome to Around the House Show. This is where we talk about home improvement every week. Thanks for joining us. Happy midweek everybody. Can't believe we're getting this close to Christmas.

[00:00:38] Eric Goranson: It's sneaking up on me. It feels awesome today at my house. It's a, uh, foggy one out this morning, so it definitely feels a little frozen. And, uh, for us here in my area, that, uh, definitely makes it feel a little bit more like the holidays, which I love, and I absolutely love that. Well, today I wanted to talk about a few things.

[00:00:57] Eric Goranson: One, we're gonna talk about the color of the year for next [00:01:00] year, and then first I wanted to kind of, Do some cleanup here and make some announcements and talk about some stuff going on here for 2023. So to first off, we are going to have our own tv. Around the House Northwest that I'll be hosting starting out here in the Portland market.

[00:01:16] Eric Goranson: So you'll be able to catch that on Fox 12 Plus here in Portland, Oregon on Gray television. And hopefully we'll be expanding that out across the country at a later date. We're working on that. We're wanna be able to, uh, you know, kind of get a good jog in before we run and we'll be doing that. But here's the good.

[00:01:34] Eric Goranson: When that airs starting February 18th, anybody will be able to stream it. So you'll be able to catch it as it airs on television, and then it's gonna live on YouTube. So there's gonna be a ton of new video content with exact ways. Of DIY projects and I'll be walking you through step by step, so it'll be a little bit different in this show.

[00:01:54] Eric Goranson: And don't worry, this show's not going anywhere. The podcast isn't going anywhere, the radio show's not going anywhere. We are just [00:02:00] adding to my workload, which is gonna be a lot of fun we're gonna be doing on videos. So we will have a ton of video content. For you to learn from and, uh, that will start airing on February 18th on that Saturday.

[00:02:12] Eric Goranson: So just stay tuned for that. That's coming up. We start filming in January, so it's gonna be a busy time. So you might see me doing a little less on social media between now and then, just because I got a lot of setup to do and working with advertisers and that kind of stuff cuz uh, well that's how this stuff pays the.

[00:02:29] Eric Goranson: is those advertisers because, uh, well that makes it so you don't have to pay anything. So make sure and support those advertisers, whether it's on the podcast or the radio or the television. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Well, today I wanted to talk about the color of the year. And it's so funny because the color of the year is all over the board.

[00:02:49] Eric Goranson: This. Sometimes you're all kind of the same. Sometimes they'll all work together, but every single company has a wildly different. [00:03:00] Color of the year. So let's go down the list here. You know, one of the biggest ones that I always look at is Pantone. And Pantone is kind of one of the color kings out there.

[00:03:10] Eric Goranson: They're the ones that you know, that uh, pick out colors for the year. They're a big color standard out there, cuz that way in advertising you can call out a Pantone color and everybody knows what that color. , so that works out really well. Their color of the year for 2023 is Viva Magenta, so it is just what you think it is a bright magenta, um, kind of blush tone.

[00:03:37] Eric Goranson: Bold, pinkish red is their 2023 color of the year. Their quote is an unconventional shade for an unconventional time, but it's still not Barbie pink. So there's the good news. So that's cool. So it's gonna be interesting to see how that gets used. It is a bright and vibrant color. And so if we go over to like [00:04:00] Krylon, the spray can people, Spanish Moss is their color of the year.

[00:04:06] Eric Goranson: And, uh, it is kind of the green. They're saying green is quickly becoming the new neutral as homeowners opt for comforting colors. And we're not doing that bright whites anymore. But the 2023 color of the year for Corlon is Spanish moss, which I'd call it a deep forest green that kind of just gives you that, um, , almost the green of a fur tree of it.

[00:04:27] Eric Goranson: Just, you know, walking into that fur forest, that is what that color is. And so they're really going that way. And then on the other side of that, we've got Raspberry blush by Benjamin Moore. That color, uh, definitely bright, cheery. It's kind of a, no, it's a raspberry blush, so it's, uh, got a little bit of a clay color to a bright raspberry, so it's kind of muted that way.

[00:04:56] Eric Goranson: Uh, but it's an interesting color, so it's bright. [00:05:00] It's, um, man, it's gonna be really warm, but it's gonna be, um, a lot of color. But it does work with, uh, you know, the, uh, white and beige color, so you can match that in there as. Now another one that's big, um, Don Edwards. Tara Rosa, which is a pink clay Mav color.

[00:05:22] Eric Goranson: I'll be honest, it starts to nod toward those nineties Mav colors, which um, is a little close to me, so I'm not a huge fan of that. I gotta let go of that. But this Tara Rosa, which is a kind of terracotta rose. Mav, as I call it, is what it is. Now here's another one that's, uh, an interesting kind of blush color as well.

[00:05:46] Eric Goranson: Red Point by Sherwin Williams. Plush and beige Redden Point by Sher Williams is kind of a subtle pink undertone to warm things up. So it's very much, um, [00:06:00] kind of looks like almost a color of makeup that you would see out there. So it is something, um, very much, uh, it'll work really good with greens, blues, and browns.

[00:06:10] Eric Goranson: It's a really cool color, by the way. And um, I think it's really just kind of a warm, subtle. with a slight feminine touch to it. So it's cool that way. And then Walmart has their paint better Homes and gardens. Their color is Canyon Ridge, very southwestern color. So Canyon Ridge is an orange meets pink, pink color.

[00:06:34] Eric Goranson: Um, kind of almost adds as a near neutral when it puts, when you put it on the walls. But it's interesting. So it's kind of a spin on a terracotta and, uh, interesting stuff. But that is another color. Now our bear paint that you see in Home Depot, blank canvas is their color, which is basically the col, the color I have in the walls of my house right now.

[00:06:56] Eric Goranson: Um, it would probably exactly match it if I was gonna guess it [00:07:00] just by looking at it. But, uh, it is a creamy shade of white and it's very much a warm neutral. Um, it is very much a safe, easy color. So it is, um, A very relaxing color. So it's not that bright white, but it's just that creamy, almost vanilla, real vanilla ice cream color without the speckles, if you know what I mean.

[00:07:24] Eric Goranson: So it's in there. And then another color here by Glit and paint Ving Ivy, which is very, uh, a blue green with a heavy on the blue, probably, uh, very tranquil type color. You can use that also in, you know, more contemporary or even classic styles. But it is, um, very versatile. But it is a bluegreen jewel tone, kind of what you'd see.

[00:07:49] Eric Goranson: And, uh, very bright, um, very bluish too. So it's, uh, bluegreen and um, I, I'd probably be, wouldn't do a whole room with that color unless you [00:08:00] really wanted to make up old statement. But it's an interesting Vny Ivy by Gliden. And then another one here that kind of goes back to some of the other ones here that I would say is very close to maybe what the Sherwin Williams color is.

[00:08:13] Eric Goranson: And this one gets a little interesting. It's a little different, but Rustic Graye by Dutch. So this is, uh, gray, beige, subtle, red undertones, same kind of thing, very earth tone, uh, warm. And that's another one. You're seeing Some of these warm colors really come in as a hot color. And then of course, Valspar, they gotta come up with something different.

[00:08:35] Eric Goranson: They have their colors of the year because they didn't want to just pick one. So they have 12 livable paint colors, which is kind of a mix of soft, soft neutrals, sweet pastels, soothing shades, blue and green. So they've got their, their colors. Some of the interesting ones they have is, um, gentle violet, which is kind of a trick color.

[00:08:59] Eric Goranson: I [00:09:00] like this color. It looks white. , but when you put it up against something white, the violet pops. So it's a really soft color and it's kind of a mine trick. So it's very cool color. I like this actually. Not cool as in color temperature, but cool. As in fun. So that's a fun one there as well. I would love to use that.

[00:09:20] Eric Goranson: I might even find a place in my house someplace for this. Um, I might change my bathroom color to that, to be honest. It's that kind of a cool. . So I might, I might see a change color in my bathroom that I just painted this last year. So that could be a change down the road. And then another one here that they have Southern Road, which is kind of another cool color.

[00:09:42] Eric Goranson: Um, this one here is down in that we're seeing a trend here, right? That southern road is kind of that clay pink, you know, it's got that brown undertone out of the pink. We're still into that kind of terracotta ish, but with more of a, [00:10:00] a pink, red version to it. And then the other one, uh, that I saw in here that's pretty cool by Valspar is their everglade deck.

[00:10:09] Eric Goranson: And I'll make sure and say that correctly. That is, again, that bluegreen colors. So we're starting to see these, these kind of, uh, Mav peach clay and the green blue. Not turquoise, but the other side of that, almost a hunter green with blue in it to get that everglade deck. So it's a, you take a midnight blue and put a bunch of green in it and you're probably close to that.

[00:10:34] Eric Goranson: And that is the other color of the year. So pretty cool. That's what I saw so far out there. The colors of the year. There's a lot of different stuff out there and, uh, make sure and have some fun painting. It's painting season after you take the tree down. I tell you why. It's a great time to, to do some interior painting, especially when you're stuck inside.

[00:10:53] Eric Goranson: It can be a lot of fun and uh, do something different. I might just, after doing this story here, I might just have to paint [00:11:00] that bathroom again. And, um, not that I love painting bathrooms cuz of the paint, but, uh, that's not one of my favorite rooms to paint, but it could be. One of the next colors. So something to think about.

[00:11:10] Eric Goranson: Well guys, we got a great show coming up ahead this weekend. Um, oh, you have to watch the tees on it, but we've got one hour, the first hour we're gonna be talking about the, uh, handful of things. And I, I won't say 10 cuz I think we went into a little bit more than that. Things that you don't wanna buy at the home center.

[00:11:27] Eric Goranson: And a handful of things you do. So we talk about some of the things that, uh, you think you're getting a good deal on, that you're not. So we're gonna talk about saving you some money, saving you some headaches, and then as well, uh, we've got a great guest hour number two that I'm gonna leave here as a surprise.

[00:11:43] Eric Goranson: But you'll be able to catch that on the tees on Thursday, so you can pay attention to the podcast then. But we've got a great show coming up and then later on here, we're gonna have some fun. Um, in the next few weeks, I'm gonna go through and curate. Over the holidays here, some of [00:12:00] my favorite bits out of episodes, so little nuggets of information that you might have missed or maybe even didn't make it in the show.

[00:12:08] Eric Goranson: I'll be putting those together in creating, um, a couple weeks of that. So we're gonna have some fun on revisiting some stuff that I think a lot of people missed that, uh, our great information for you and your house. All righty. Stay safe out there. The weather's crazy. All you down in the south with tornadoes and up in the Midwest with the snow, everybody's be safe out there.

[00:12:29] Eric Goranson: I've got friends and family in both of those right now. So thoughts out to you guys and, uh, let's make sure that we take some r and r time over the holidays for all of us and create some space so we can, uh, relax a little bit and enjoy the holidays. It's been a tough year. It's been a tough three years for.

[00:12:47] Eric Goranson: Maybe it's a good time to rally the troops and just enjoy the holidays this year, no matter what you believe in. All right, everybody, have a great rest of the week and thanks again for listening to Around the House,[00:13:00]
