Just got this in my email as Feb 2021 feature color, Sherwin-Williams Tarnished Trumpet #9026. For those of you looking for interesting paint colors. I kind of like it, along with the coordinating colors.

    I saw it and thought (whispering...) : Tuscan.

    Crud. That’s similar to the color I just painted my dining room.

    My father played the trumpet in high school. I used to love to get his trumpet out and look at it. I was looking forward to a paint color that looked like Daddy’s old trumpet. Uh....this isn’t even close. Bummer!

    That's the color of the trim in my living room with a soft yellow wall color. I've loved it since 2000. Now I'm in style too. Before I was just ' certainly not afraid of color' ;^)

    Love it. It’s almost the exact color of the guest room in my last house, which was always commented favorably on. That room got the most wonderful morning sun, which with this color, made it very cozy. Guests loved it.

    No matter the trends, I’m just not a cool-toned person.

    Brass came back first, and so now we have opened the door to warm colors. Every millennial that grew up w polished nickel and white will think brass and cream is so cool! We wise old sages can just bide our time.

    I am soo stylin‘ — DR walls are the trumpet color, and the two sofas in the living room (open to DR) are very similar to Rosemary and Blustery Sky.

    It’s like 2001 all over again. My dining room in our first house was that yellow. And my couch was the Rosemary color and my walls were very close to Alabaster. The couch pillows had all those colors plus a reddish color.

    It gets a big YUK from me. LOL! Sue, from my screen your dining room walls look much different, softer, from this color. I do like some of the accent colors, the dark green, not so much. Blustery Sky is more in tune with my colors.

    I've already done brass and cream years ago. Still like cream but don't like brass, tarnished or not.

    Interesting, on the cards it looks like the color I have on a couple of my living room walls, (it was too strong for all four) but the pic of it on the wall is darker than my walls.

    Seems Sue's is softer than the sample shown according to Tina, and mine is a touch more intense. Mine is a close match to Black Eyed Susan yellow for the trim. I never thought I would like it, but I had painted the trim a soft white first. Did the ceiling molding, window, doors and door trim in the white and hated it for a year. I felt like we lived in an old fashioned ice cream parlor. I put the mustard/school pencil/school bus yellow up and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it. I still say wow sometimes and say to myself, who would have thunk it? Funny how things work out sometimes. You probably need the right room and furnishing to pull it off.

    The palette feels a little Craftsman to me.

    Why can’t we call that “Antique Brass Instrument”? Tarnished Trumpet???? It does feel Craftsman.

    Hmm, interesting color. I am not a gold paint lover so not something I would chose. However, if it was metallic like a trumpet I might have liked it. Tarnished Trumpet reminds me of the finish on a refrigerator I saw last week. It was really nice although, it would not work in my kitchen.

    I am pretty sure that is the same color (with a different name) that was on the SW "Blond" color strip. My last house had all the colors on that strip. I did get lots of compliments on the colors in that house. I think it was the early 2000 that I started to paint using the "Blonde" strip.

  • Sueb20

    Haha, I had SW Blond in the living room of my last house probably about 2002-2015.

  • User

    The public spaces of my entire house were in SW Blond. I agree this is the same color, or darn close to it.

    I have always loved warm colors and will be glad to see grey lose some popularity. However I don't see me repainting my house the exact same color from 15 years ago.

    Another Blonde, Restrained Gold, Mannered Gold person here. I wondered how they compared to Tarnished Trumpet.

  • 3katz4me

    Not my cup o’ tea - just don’t care for gold-ish colors. It looks about the color our walls were when we moved in. They are now a nice warm beige - SW Antler Velvet.

    Excluding the rosemary, that palette plus chocolate and black is very close to what I used in my library/den which I decorated in 2004.

    I also thought Tuscan the moment I saw the color. Nothing wrong with it, just BTDT. I had lots of strong color in our last house and am enjoying the paler walls here. When we bought this house every room was painted that Tuscan gold; we used three coats of paint in most rooms and even four coats in some rooms. It‘s a hard color to cover.

    I quite like it.

    I painted a north-facing, dark bedroom in our last house a similar color—-a little brighter—-and I loved it. It was always so cheery.

    It's more assertive than I like my yellows. I could get into some olive greens, though.

    Funny the chip doesn't look so bad, but the pics of the rooms looks very orange instead of gold.

    If I may state the obvious, the color looks NOTHING like a tarnished trumpet. The name is equal parts absurd and annoying.

  • lascatx

    It wasn't what I was expecting based on the name, but my sons play trombone and sax and we have a tarnished bugle in the game room as well as a few older horns. It's not a wall color I would chose.

    It reminds me of Laura Ashley Gold which was very popular maybe in the late 90's or early 2000's.


    ETA: I think it was #4 or #3 that was the most popular ones, but don't fully remember.

    I joined GardenWeb in about 2000 and Blonde was all over the place! That and Baby Turtle. I always thought they both looked nice when shown here.

  • nini804

    The whole fan of the colors posted above by Mtn looks like the colorways for those ubiquitous ‘French Country” fabrics from early 2000’s. I’m never a fan of yellow, in any variation, for either my interiors or my fashion choices, so I am probably not a candidate for Tarnished Trumpet. 😊

    I never understood the baby turtle color. To me it looked like the poop of an infant with a mild gastrointestinal bug. Ok in a room with the right furnishings, rugs, etc but most often not.
