You Don't Want to Miss 2025's Colors of the Year

As we embrace 2025, homeowners and designers are gravitating towards paint colors that evoke tranquility, warmth, and timeless elegance. The shift away from cold neutral grays and blacks towards a more inviting color palette shows the desire to turn our homes into happier places. Sherwin-Williams, a leading authority in color trends, has chosen to highlight 9 colors for 2025. This palette is meant to not only work well with itself, but also with a wide array of colors that can fit the style of any build.

The 2025 Color Capsule: A Curated Collection

Departing from the tradition of selecting a single "Color of the Year," Sherwin-Williams has introduced the Color Capsule of the Year—a curated collection of nine harmonious shades designed to inspire and adapt to various design aesthetics. 

Featured Colors:

• Grounded (SW 6089): A bold and confident brown tone to set the intentions of the year right out the gate.

• Sunbleached (SW 9585): This off-white is a great color to have in any room and is something that will never go out of style.

• Chartreuse (SW 0073): This vibrant green helps space feel playfully innovative and boldly energizing.

• Bosc Pear (SW 6390): For when you want your brown tones to have a pop of color brightening up an otherwise dull space.

• White Snow (SW 9541): A bright, crisp white that serves as a versatile backdrop for various design elements.

• Rain Cloud (SW 9639): A muted teal that pairs effortlessly with both warm and cool palettes, adding depth and sophistication. 

• Clove (SW 9183): A deep, rich brown reminiscent of dark chocolate, perfect for creating cozy, intimate spaces. 

• Malabar (SW 9110): This sandy beige neutral can turn any living space into a soft, warm haven from the stresses of the world. Pairs well with other soft, warm hues.

• Mauve Finery (SW 6282): A sophisticated mauve that introduces a touch of botanical beauty and elegance. 

Embracing Warm Neutrals and Earthy Tones

The resurgence of warm neutrals signifies a shift towards creating inviting and comforting interiors. With the last decade more focused on modernizing your living space, the shift away from cold tones to warm ones signifies the changing tastes of the times. Colors like Malabar and Grounded offer a modern take on classic beige, moving away from the starkness of previous gray trends. These hues provide a versatile foundation, complementing various textures and materials such as linen, rattan, and wood. 

Incorporating Nature-Inspired Hues

Nature continues to influence interior color choices, with shades like Chartreuse and Rain Cloud bringing the calming essence of the outdoors inside. These colors not only promote relaxation but also seamlessly integrate with biophilic design elements, enhancing the connection between indoor spaces and the natural world. 

Designing with the 2025 Palette

The versatility of the 2025 Color Capsule allows for creative freedom in designing cohesive and stylish interiors. For instance:

• Living Rooms: Combine Grounded walls with White Snow trim to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

• Bedrooms: Use Rain Cloud for a serene backdrop, complemented by natural wood furnishings and soft textiles.

• Kitchens: Incorporate Sunbleached cabinetry with Clove accents for a modern yet cozy culinary space.

Final Thoughts

Sherwin-Williams' 2025 interior paint colors reflect a collective desire for spaces that offer comfort, tranquility, and timeless beauty. By embracing these thoughtfully curated hues, you can transform your home into a haven that resonates with warmth and elegance.
