Trending Paint Colors Of 2025

A wave that gives even paint colors some time in the limelight is the new home trends that sweep into the world of interior design every year. These fresh color trends often represent overarching themes, which are influenced by everything from glossy magazines and social media to the broader backdrop.

Knowing what’s on-trend is all-important for renovation plans in the new year. Whether you’re toying with the idea of painting your walls or just curious about what’s new, here’s our list of 2025’s trending paint colors.

Gray-Blue

Gray is poised to make a comeback in 2025 with a smokier twist that incorporates undercurrents of cool blue tones. Jeneffer Jones Punjani of El Nido Interiors says this option works brilliantly as a neutral since it coordinates so well with other colors.

“I love using it in darker spaces to give a calming, moody vibe,” she says, pointing specifically to Boothbay Gray by Benjamin Moore. “It works well on walls and cabinetry and pairs beautifully with marble and golden hues, like brass and warm wood flooring.”

Moody Teal

Not quite blue and not quite green, teal offers the perfect medium ground. Expect to see this color popping up all over in 2025, but with a moodier twist, says interior designer Kate Figler. A good example is Farrow & Ball’s unique Inchyra Blue. “We love to use Inchyra Blue on cabinetry or in a cozy den,” says Figler. “It even pairs beautifully with lighter colors like lavender, coral, or blush pink.”

Dusty Pink

Tap into some feminine energy by embracing muted, dusted versions of pink. Since it’s on the paler side, it even works as a warm neutral. “I love how warm and elegant it feels—there’s something about a dusty, rosy-faded pink that always draws me in,” says interior designer Adam Hunter. “It brings to mind the charm of antique garden roses.”

Figler agrees, noting that a blushing shade of pink has an earthy quality to it that prevents this otherwise girlish hue from feeling overly saccharine.

Honeyed Yellow

Yellow tones ranging from mustard to honey will be big in 2025, offering a surprising, colorful twist wherever they’re painted. “Honey, gold, and bronze hues bring warmth and an understated energy without being overwhelming,” says Courtney Hill Utt of Chu Interiors. “if you want it to feel timeless, make sure you pick a yellow color that has a more neutral base and that isn’t too bright. ” She also recommends weaving in interesting textures, chocolate brown hues, and brass finishes to play up the gold undertones.

Muted Plum

Purple’s arguably a hard color to pull off, but in the right room, it can add drama and warmth. A softer variation, like a muted plum, makes it feel more elegant and enduring. “I love this color for its sophisticated, fresh-yet-timeless appeal. To me, it exudes a subtle sense of royalty,” Hunter says. He likes the idea of choosing this color for a kitchen or a cozy home library, though it can work in powder rooms, bathrooms, and even bedrooms.

Peacock Blue

If you prefer a more vibrant variation of blue, you’re in luck. Peacock blues, like Sherwin-Williams’ Connor’s Lakefront, are trending in 2025—and they’re the perfect way to add a burst of saturated color to your space. “We’re all about a gorgeous peacock blue lately,” says Jones. “Saturate not only the walls but also on the trim and ceiling for a moody, sexy space.”

Sparkling Emerald

Thanks to the color-drenching trend, rich jewel tones will be nig in 2025. Among the most popular is a deep, sparkling emerald hue like Sherwin-Williams’ Country Squire.

“I love jewel tones and deep hues, and this color packs the punch,” says Amber Guyton, interior designer at Blessed Little Bungalow. “It’s a play on emerald and hunter greens, but with a blue undertone that’s both bold and sophisticated. I love it for a living room, bedroom, and even kitchen cabinets. Neutrals and warm colors like marigold or rust would also make it pop.”
