SW November 2024 Color of the Month: Chinchilla

November 21, 2024

As November graces us with cooler weather and beautiful fall colors, Sherwin Williams has released their color of the month and it perfectly captures the essence of this time of year. Chinchilla, a soft, purple-gray hue, has an elegant tranquility in its appearance that creates a unique balance between dramatic and soothing. Whether you’re designing a contemporary living space, a sleek kitchen, or a relaxing bathroom, its versatility makes it a great backdrop for a variety of interior styles. 

When choosing tiles to pair with Chinchilla, it’s important to focus on tones and textures that enhance its understated elegance. One tile option that works beautifully with this serene shade of gray is our Wave porcelain tile in the Sand colorway. The warm tone of these beige concrete-look tiles creates a gentle contrast against Chinchilla, balancing the two elements in a way that feels calm, cozy and inviting. This pairing works great in spaces where you want a neutral yet comforting ambiance, like living rooms, kitchens or open-concept areas. If you love the natural warmth of wood, our Whisper Forest plank tiles offer a soft, warm gray similar to the hue of Chinchilla. The gentle contrast of wood tones against the soft gray in this stunning wood look porcelain tile will bring warmth and texture to your space. This combination is especially appealing in living rooms or bedrooms.

Another tile option that will add texture and enhance this beautiful paint color is our Relic Bone glass mosaic tile. These glass and stone mosaic tiles can add depth and interest to any room and are perfect for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom shower walls, or even as accent walls. Lastly, you can create a cohesive, calming atmosphere with just the right amount of personality using our StoneImpressions Eloise Lace patterned tiles. Inspired by the petals of a flower, the elements of the Eloise Lace design incorporate colors close to Chinchilla, and its warm beige Limestone surface creates just enough contrast to make the pattern pop. Whether you install the Eloise Lace tile as an accent behind the stove, a backsplash behind a vanity, or a feature wall in the bathroom, this combination can create a striking focal point in any room without overpowering the subtle elegance of Chinchilla.
