In honor of Black History Month, I’m beyond excited to share the Grace Color Palette—a special edition inspired by the stunning work of Hurvin Anderson and his iconic painting Grace Jones (2020). This isn’t just a color palette; it’s a celebration of culture, identity, and storytelling, brought to life through rich, bold hues.
Hurvin Anderson, Grace Jones (2020)
If you’ve never encountered Hurvin Anderson’s work, let me set the stage for you. Anderson, born in Birmingham, UK, to Jamaican parents, creates art that bridges two worlds—his Caribbean heritage and his British upbringing. His pieces are vivid and layered, weaving together themes of migration, memory, and identity. Grace Jones, his painting that inspired this palette, is a perfect example of his brilliance. The lush tropical greens, deep blues, and earthy tones in the piece radiate a sense of strength, resilience, and elegance.
The Grace palette
This palette channels all that vibrancy and depth into a curated collection of Sherwin-Williams colors that feel bold, grounded, and unapologetic. Think rich greens that bring a lush, botanical vibe, calming blues for a serene touch, and warm neutrals that ground the whole look. Each shade is like a brushstroke from Anderson’s painting, ready to transform your space into a work of art.
When I designed this palette, I imagined it living in spaces that tell their own stories. Picture a living room with a deep forest green accent wall, paired with neutral furnishings to let the color shine. Or maybe a serene bedroom featuring calming blues and soft whites that invite you to relax. And for those bold moments? That berry-pink hue is perfect for a pop of color in a dining room or an entryway that wows.
Black History Month is about honoring the legacy of Black creatives and innovators who’ve shaped our world, and this palette is my way of paying tribute to the beauty they bring to our lives. Hurvin Anderson’s art reminds us of the power of storytelling through color and texture. It’s bold, it’s layered, and it’s unapologetically authentic—just like this palette.
The Grace Color Palette is available now on our Etsy store as a downloadable guide, so you can bring this stunning tribute into your own home. Whether you’re dreaming up a bold feature wall or reimagining an entire space, this palette is the perfect starting point for you to design a space that celebrates artistry, culture, and creativity.
Let this palette remind you that design, like art, is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about telling a story. And this story? It’s one worth celebrating.
