In 2027, Artifact pushes drama to the wayside, calling for simplicity. It makes way for homeowners’ personality to shine through and simplify what they live with. It turns off the pressure of perfection to give a simple color reset, zero renovation stress required.
According to Ashley McCollum, Glidden paint color marketing manager, Artifact is for DIYers who want to transform a space without starting over.
“Not every home update needs to be dramatic to feel different,” said McCollum. “Artifact is that perfect ‘hit reset’ color. Not a reinvention—just a fresh realignment. It’s confidence without the drama and calm without the snooze. It’s the color of reset, but without erasing your personality. It’s fresh, optimistic and lets people design a space that reflects who they actually are, and not who they’re expected to be.”
A mix of classic and modern, this warm, rich blue represents a shift away from using cool grays as neutrals toward emerging colors that feel welcoming, personal and timeless. McCollum describes Artifact as bringing clarity without coldness and freshness without flash to create spaces that feel comfortable, upbeat and easy to live in. Calm and effortless, Artifact is the best case of the blues.
“Consumers today want color that feels like their call, not a design rule. A smoky blue like Artifact behaves like a modern ‘choose your own adventure’ color that doesn’t force a story or a specific design style onto you. It lets you shape your own story depending on what you choose to pair it with,” said McCollum.
McCollum recommends Artifact to reset high-impact surfaces including interior walls, exteriors, ceilings, accents, doors and cabinets. Try Artifact in spaces such as:

MINNETONKA, Minn. & REHOVOT, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 14, 2026--
Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) today announced a new showcase of its longstanding collaboration with General Motors (GM), highlighting how one of the world's most advanced manufacturers is leveraging Stratasys additive manufacturing solutions to reduce manufacturing lead times and costs while improving operational performance across its production operations.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260914828439/en/
GM team members are leveraging Stratasys FDM® additive manufacturing solutions to rapidly produce tooling, fixtures, jigs, factory aids and end-use parts, with facilities reporting significant savings.
Stratasys combines industrial FDM production systems, production-grade materials, software and application expertise to design, build and integrate qualified additive manufacturing solutions into existing workflows and processes. Manufacturing teams across multiple GM production facilities in North and South America have deployed Stratasys platforms to support dozens of manufacturing applications spanning tooling, quality, safety, and ergonomics for years.
Stratasys F900® FDM industrial production printers enable manufacturing teams to share and scale proven applications across facilities, while achieving rapid returns on investment through lower tooling costs, reduced lead times and improved operational efficiency.
"General Motors demonstrates what becomes possible when additive manufacturing is fully integrated into production operations," said Yoav Zeif, Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys. "Together, we've created an approach that turns factory-floor innovation into enterprise-wide business value, helping manufacturing teams improve performance, reduce costs and scale proven solutions across their operations."
Across its manufacturing network, GM uses Stratasys additive manufacturing solutions to produce ergonomic production aids, quality-control tools, fixtures, protective components, tooling and replacement parts that help improve productivity, reduce downtime and accelerate problem-solving. Manufacturing teams are able to develop solutions locally, validate them quickly and share successful applications wherever they are needed across the organization.
"Our greatest asset is our people," said Doneen McDowell, Manufacturing Vice President, GM North America Full Size Truck and Large SUV Assembly Operations, General Motors. "If we can give people the tools so they can own the outcome within their footprint, and then take those solutions and replicate them across our footprint where they apply, we'll get the best outcome."
GM's deployment demonstrates how additive manufacturing can transform factory-floor innovation into enterprise-wide manufacturing performance. By combining empowered teams, standardized technology and proven applications, manufacturers can accelerate problem-solving, reduce costs and improve operational efficiency across their production networks.
