Mike Chavez Painting is proud to announce our collaboration with Dunn-Edwards for the official reveal of their 2026 Color of the Year: “Midnight Garden” (DE5657). This deep, botanical green is already making waves in design circles, and we were honored to be the painting company in Santa Rosa to help introduce it to the world!
How We Partnered with Dunn-Edwards
This partnership wasn’t born out of a corporate pitch. It started on a jobsite.
Mike said his team was using Dunn-Edwards products on a project and decided to tag the brand in a post. For them, it was just another day of delivering top-quality results with top-tier products.
“We were using some of their products on one of our jobs, and my great social media team had an idea to tag Dunn-Edwards in the post,” says Chavez. “That’s kind of where the relationship was formed.”
Recognizing a shared commitment to quality, the Dunn-Edwards team reached out to collaborate!
Why is “Midnight Garden” Color of the Year?
The chosen color, Midnight Garden (DE5657), is a deep, organic green that feels timeless yet modern—bold without being overpowering.
Key Features of “Midnight Garden”
- Bold color without going overboard
- Perfectly balances with natural wood accents or warm neutrals
- Ideal for both interior accent walls and exterior statement features
“We decided to do the reveal at our shop,” Mike explained. “…in my offices, we have natural wood colors—so the green just fit really well. It turned out really nice.”
