Creative Color-Focused Apparel

Sherwin-Williams Dips its New Apparel in its Least Popular Shade

— April 9, 2024 — Fashion
Sherwin-Williams and Dapper Dan introduce ‘The Loneliest Color,’ an innovative fashion collection inspired by the unconventional choice of ‘Kingdom Gold SW 6698,’ identified as the brand’s least popular color.

The range includes a timeless velour zip-up jacket, an elevated bucket hat featuring Dan’s iconic initials, a luxurious velour vest inspired by vintage aesthetics, and an exclusive soccer kit designed by the fashion luminary himself.

A striking aspect of this collection is the harmonious interplay of Kingdom Gold SW 6698 with complementary hues such as Brave Purple SW 6823 and Habanero Chile SW 7589, creating a visually captivating and cohesive aesthetic across the ensemble. From textured recycled nylon spandex ensembles to embossed leather jackets, each piece showcases the versatility and allure of Kingdom Gold in conjunction with other dynamic colors.

‘The Loneliest Color’ collection is being auctioned on eBay, with bidding open to the United States and Canada residents until April 14.
