Well-known paint brand Valspar and the AstroTwins recently partnered up for a new challenge. The two companies collaborated to bring a unique experience into the home improvement/DIY space — matching each zodiac sign with a newly launched color, and introducing a “power room” and “astrological accents” into the mix. Read below to see how you can turn your home into your calming oasis or your vibrant gathering place with the perfect color shades that match your star sign.
Aries 2022 Color of the Year: Sunset Curtains
A transformational year is ahead for you, Aries! In 2022, you’ll release parts of your past while creating space for new opportunities to flow in. But here’s where things are different: Rather than racing ahead at your usual supersonic pace, you must first slow down, relax and reflect.
Warm and soothing Sunset Curtains will support you in contemplating your next major move. Bask in this tonal tranquility and have faith: It won’t be long before a creative spark becomes a flame!
Aries 2022 Power Room: Bath
Even though you’re a fire sign, in 2022, the best ideas come to you near water. The bath is your power room this year, so turn yours into a sanctuary. Sunset Curtains is the perfect hue to ease your mind into a meditative state. You’ll get the creativity flowing whenever you turn on the taps!
Astrological Accents: Rustic Oak and Fired Earth
You have some big decisions ahead in 2022 as you step forward into your next phase of life. When you want to fuel your passionate personality, fan the flames with Rustic Oak or evoke a solid hearth with a dark hue like Fired Earth.
Taurus 2022 Color of the Year: Gilded Linen
Togetherness is your keyword for 2022, Taurus. After a year of hard work, you’re so ready to lift your nose from the grindstone. Whether you’re mingling for fun or networking for professional purposes, there won’t be a shortage of lively interactions ahead. Set your GPS for cosmic connection with Gilded Linen, a bright, luxurious neutral that goes with everything (and everyone). This clean, cozy color makes spaces feel refreshingly open — perfect for drawing your inner circle together for some long-overdue bonding.
2022 Power Room: Entertainment Area
Break out the serving platters, movie projector, board games — whatever! You’re the “host with the most” in 2022. Gilded Linen brightens your entertainment area and opens up the space to welcome guests. Cook up some legendary fun for your pod and you’ll keep spirits high.
Knowing you, Taurus, it’s bound to become a tradition!

As one of the zodiac’s earth signs, you like to feel rooted and secure. That’s how you provide for the ones you love, after all. Bring the outdoors in with the woodsy vim of Rustic Oak or revitalizing vigor of Blanched Thyme.
2022 Gemini Color of the Year: Grey Suit
Step up to the plate! 2022 will be a year of leadership and success as you ascend to unprecedented heights. As an air sign, you’ll happily rise to the occasion, but remember one essential tip: To be the boss you can’t do everything alone. Tap into your collaborative sign’s superpowers this year. Find the right people for your team and keep momentum alive with your enthusiastic energy. Grey Suit is the ideal color for your 2022 “command center.” Yes, this hue means business, but it also has warmth and versality, a combination that’s signature Gemini.
2022 Power Room: Home Office
First project of the new year: setting up (or sprucing up) your home office. To harness the ambitious magic of 2022, you need to focus like a laser. And *sigh* that means screening out your favorite distractions, like chitchatting with the “visitors” who drop by spontaneously. Grey Suit helps you stay calm and clear-headed as you get the job done, whether you’re working solo or inviting roomies in for a brainstorming session.
Astrological Accents: Fired Earth and Gilded Linen
As a versatile Gemini, you’re a study in contrasts. Sometimes you’ll find the grey area, other times, you prefer to keep things black-and-white. From the depth of Fired Earth to the glow of Gilded Linen, experiment with warm and nuanced neutrals for the darker and lighter ranges of the color spectrum.
Cancer 2022 Color of the Year: Delightful Moon
Ready, set, explore! New horizons are calling you in 2022, which will be a year of epic growth and adventure.

Yes, Cancer, you’ll be out in the world a lot more this year; but home is still where your heart is. Delightful Moon brings 2022’s uplifting energy indoors, evoking the spirited, playful energy you’re longing for.
2022 Power Room: Living Room

Astrological Accents: Orchid Ash and Sunset Curtains
What does a summer-born Cancer adore as much as the moonlit sky? A dip in the sea or a stroll along the shoreline. These beach-bleached hues — Orchid Ash and Sunset Curtains — are two colors that will soothe a water sign’s soul.
Leo 2022 Color of the Year: Mountain River
You’ll never stop soaring, Leo, but in 2022, you’re also going deep. With a focus on strengthening relationships, a passionate, powerful year awaits.
