According to Veranda, say goodbye to boring grays and hello to bold, ravishing reds! In 2025, color trends will become more personal than ever, moving away from neutral tones and embracing vivid hues that tell a unique story. According to leading color experts and paint companies, homeowners are swapping stark whites and outdated grays for layered, vibrant shades. Expect to see a blend of unexpected and traditional colors—ranging from electric brights and deep reds to fresh, new neutrals—adding personality to home interiors.
Warm and Comforting Hues
While past color trends focused on nature-inspired greens and blues, 2025 marks a shift toward warmer tones like caramel browns and honeyed neutrals. Ruth Mottershead, Creative Director of Little Greene, shares, “We’re seeing a demand for soothing, comforting colors that bring warmth and serenity to any space, from contemporary homes to traditional settings.”
Here’s a sneak peek at the six color trends experts say will be everywhere in 2025:
Dessert Browns
Rich, dessert-inspired browns like chocolate, toffee, and caramel are set to take center stage. Little Greene has named Mochi, a warm brown hue, as their color of the year, while C2 Paint’s Raku, a burnt mahogany shade, is expected to dominate the design world.
Otherworldly Blues
Deeper, more enchanting blues will replace the midtones of past years. Cosmic Cobalt, a brilliant ultramarine, has been selected by VERANDA as its 2025 Color of the Year, offering a captivating connection to nature.
Artist's Ochre
Rich mustard and earthy ochre shades will add comfort and character to homes. Experts predict these tones will bring a luxurious touch to living spaces, perfect for cozy reading nooks or sophisticated home offices.
Ravishing Ruby
Classic reds are making a grand comeback. Behr’s color of the year, Rumors, channels a sultry ruby reminiscent of the vibrant ‘90s, while Sherwin-Williams features bold reds like Borscht and Red Tomato in their 2025 Colormix® Forecast.
Candied Tones
Vibrant candy-colored accents are set to brighten interiors in 2025. Sherwin-Williams predicts that fun shades like Dragon Fruit and Euphoric Lilac will allow homeowners to get playful and adventurous with their color choices.
Honeyed Neutrals
As cool tones continue to fade, warm, toasty neutrals are stepping in to balance bolder colors. These raw, elemental hues—like those in Sherwin-Williams’s Chrysalis palette—offer a grounding, serene backdrop for any room.
For homeowners and interior designers looking to refresh their spaces, these 2025 color trends provide endless inspiration for creating a personalized, vibrant home.
