There's nothing quite like the transformative power of interior paint. You can pick a paint shade according to your design aesthetic, a room's lighting conditions or the mood you intend to set, and see how the right color can make all the difference to your space. But if you're in need of some inspiration for your next paint job, we invited some design pros across the country to share the top paint color trends for 2023.

Their most popular paint color choices will cater to a wide range of design lovers and complement new trends in interiors. For minimalists, we can still expect to see tried-and-true white, stunning black tones and soothing grays (they were even part of our 2022 paint color trend roundup). But, on the other hand, there's also room for much more vibrant colors, from pops of citrus to chic blues. And let's not forget to consider the 2023 Colors of the Year. There's Benjamin Moore's Raspberry Blush, Behr's Blank Canvas and Sherwin-Williams' Redend Point, just to name a few.

So, grab your paint brush and use this list as motivation to reimagine your home interior with a great paint color. It's the perfect way to kick off the new year in style!

1

Citrus

Jean Randazzo

"Small shots of big citrus bring excitement to a space without creating visual overwhelm. It’s like a punchy-colored throw pillow for the wall. When used in a specific area of wall, it defines a space and everything looks good against this yellow green. Even beige!" — Jackie Terrell, Interior Designer

2

Rust

Miranda Estes

"Blush really had its moment in 2022, but rust may be poised to take over. It's less feminine feeling and plays into an earthy modern color palette, making a beautiful companion to Dijon yellows, teals and greens. " — Amy Vroom, Founder, The Residency Bureau

Monochromatic Looks

Ryan Garvin

"Using the exact same color in the same finish to walls, trim and ceiling lets you keep the traditional details like crown molding while giving it an instant modern update. Going all in makes rooms feel dramatic, warm and welcoming all at once. A satin finish is the best option for this approach. It’s not as shiny as semi-gloss, but it has a little bit of sheen without being shiny." — Mary Beth Christopher, Founder and Lead Designer, MBC Interior Design

Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue

"Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue is one of our favorite, go-to colors. It’s not too blue and not too green, rather the perfect marriage of both. When used on a porch, it blurs the lines between the outside and inside. Earthy, natural inspiration in design is absolutely trending right now, and will continue to become more prevalent in 2023. Palladian Blue brings lots of earthy greens into undertones into a space, making it a likely candidate to be a trending paint color in the new year." — Jillian Shaible, Principal, Susan Hayward Interiors

Black

Adam Macchia

"My ultimate favorite black has as much to do with the sheen as it does with the color: Fine Paints of Europe's HollandLac in black is the ultimate for glossy black doors. I've used this on most of my own homes (and a few for clients). It requires an expert application, but the results are sublime; glossy to the point of reflection, this paint finishes like black glass." — Dan Mazzarini, Principal and Creative Director, BHDM Design

Soft Blush

"Pairing pink with various hues is a trend we’re seeing a lot. From soft pale blushes to shocking magenta, it’s an exciting accent to go along with everything from deep blues to light neutrals." — Noel Gatts, Star of HGTV’s Home Inspector Joe; Principal Designer, Beam & Bloom Interiors

Sherwin-Williams' Eider White

Danielle Nicole Photography

"This color is often used for walls, but it is the new hot trend for stepping up your classic white kitchen cabinet. Not only is it warmer and richer, but it has a subtle contrast with the ever-so-popular white countertops." — Megan Unger, Owner and Creative Director, Megan Robertson’s Designs

Benjamin Moore's Gentleman's Gray

"Striking paint colors, like Benjamin Moore's Gentleman's Gray, are a great way to add interest and depth to any space. " — Molly Torres Portnof, Founder, DATE Interiors

Plum

Lauren Pressey

"Plum is becoming the new neutral. The richer tones are being used to blend in with neutral spaces to make it feel warm, cozy and luxe." — Linda Hayslett, Founder, LH.Designs

10

Ultramarine Blue

Virginia Macdonald

"Ultramarine blue will be the trending color for the upcoming year. It is a bright, super saturated and luscious hue." — Anne Hepfer, Luxury Interior Designer and Author of MOOD

11

Benjamin Moore's Mt. Rainier Gray

Jacarrea Garraway

"Benjamin Moore’s Mt. Rainier Gray in Matte Regal Select resembles the sky and provides a space with a sense of calm, which is vital as the world around us continues to change. Mt. Rainier Gray is an ideal backdrop for any style that sparks joy in one’s life." — Courtney McLeod, Principal, Right Meets Left Interior Design

12

Glidden's Vining Ivy

"Glidden's Vining Ivy is an update on teal that is as bold as it is versatile. Sitting perfectly between a blue and a green, Vining Ivy toes the line between a jewel tone and a deep sea hue, making it an on-trend addition to contemporary designs or a refined pop of color for those with more traditional taste." — Gil Walsh, Principal, Gil Walsh Interiors

Benjamin Moore's 2023 Color of the Year: Raspberry Blush

"People are ready to bring color back into the home, taking a step outside their color comfort zones. Raspberry Blush 2008-30 and the Color Trends 2023 palette empower the use of statement colors that deliver delight and personality, while transforming rooms for incredible results." — Andrea Magno, Color Marketing & Development Director, Benjamin Moore

"Blank Canvas effortlessly offers a clean and inviting blank slate that allows individuality and creativity to flow freely. This white easily harmonizes with a wide range of hues, including neutrals, earth tones and pastels for a charming and cozy appeal. Blank Canvas also pairs beautifully with black for a dramatic impact, and with bright accents like green or cobalt blue to instantly lift your mood." — Erika Woelfel, Vice President of Color and Creative Services, Behr Paint Company

"Redend Point's subtle pink undertones make it easy to incorporate into any space. It delivers an enveloping warmth that instantly makes you feel at home. Build on its earthiness by utilizing the hue alongside natural-looking textiles and wood accents or create a desert oasis by layering terracotta shades and clay materials." — Sue Wadden, Director of Color Marketing, Sherwin-Williams

Sherwin-Williams Says These Colors Will Rule Interiors in 2023

The Lore palette reflects a reverence for artisanal traditions, as well as what Wadden refers to as the pandemic’s role in “creating this culture of craftivism where people are using craft to talk to each other and be good humans.” Defined by saturated jewel tones, such as the light amethyst-like Wallflower, the deep turquiose-y Blue Peacock, and the ruby Toile Red, this selection is imbued with notions of joy and optimism. Made for maximalists or anyone whose space reflects a keen appreciation for novel patterns, textures, or eye-catching works of art, Lore also contains golden shades like Serape and Nugget that can make an instant impression. Elsewhere, stoney neutrals Studio Mauve and Dhurrie Beige provide an additional sense of balance while proving that basics can sometimes be more than meets the eye.

Reflecting “an evolution out of Scandinavian minimalism into a sort of ’80s modernism,” Wadden says, the Nexus selection serves up a serene palette that evokes the warm tones of a canyon sunset. Whether choosing the peachiness of Lei Flower or the hushed elegance of Malted Milk, this earthy palette summons good energy for use in spaces where caring for ourselves and others is top of mind. The selections also pair nicely with trendy design elements, such as rounded silhouettes, stone-slab tables, and sculptural armchairs.

Finally, the Origin palette is where the imagination runs wild. A veritable rainbow of nostalgia, Indigo, Peppery, and Goldfinch offer elevated twists on the three primary colors, while Kale Green, Fabulous Grape, and Chartreuse play supporting parts. When neutrals like Pure White or Skyline Steel are added in, the versatile, brilliant Origin can re-energize an environment.

“You could use these colors to create a space that’s really vibrant and bright, a little retro, maybe even a little punk rock,” Wadden muses. “I think that’s what I like most about Origin: You have the flexibility to live and breathe in those colors and try something a little unexpected.”

While Colormix itself is nothing new for Sherwin-Williams, its 2023 forecast marks the first time that commercial design segments are part of this launch. Showcasing how TERRA’s 40 colors can enliven hospitality spaces, multifamily residential construction, and more, the paint brand’s aim is to help commercial architects and designers move more confidently in the direction of fresh, modern color.

As for Sherwin-Williams’s 2023 Color of the Year (to be announced this fall), Wadden offers no hints other than that you’ll find it among the brand’s selects for TERRA. “Maybe have a look and see if you can guess,” she adds.

Priority directions for 2023 in interior color design

Indoor color schemes perform not only the function of designing and decorating various surfaces. With the help of the rational use of the diversity of the color palette, designers successfully solve other problems. nine0003

Zoning

A well-designed visual division of space into functional areas is one of the main trends of the 2023 season. Using a combination of well-matched shades, you can highlight a work area, a fireplace area, a relaxation area, a place for children's activities or placement of flowering plants in the room. In the kitchen, it is easy to visually separate the dining and working areas.


Different techniques are used for zoning. You can paint the surfaces of the walls by choosing different colors. An interesting effect is obtained if the floor or even the ceiling surface is decorated with materials of different tone. nine0003

Complex interior

The current trend in interior design solutions for the 2023 season is the organic integration of working and functional areas into living spaces. The interior becomes complex, which saves space and creates an orderly appearance of the room. The base background is selected from a list of neutral shades interspersed with saturated colors.

Adjusting the proportions of the room

The current trend is to use more active tones in small rooms. The postulate that only light walls can visually expand a miniature space is gradually becoming a thing of the past. nine0003

On the contrary, the analysis of modern projects allows us to conclude that a deep rich color scheme distracts attention from small dimensions. It is important not to use it in the dominant version. Usually one accent wall or a specific area is brightly decorated to emphasize its functionality.

Cooling or warming the room

Fashionable colors in the interior 2023 can not only give the space a certain impact on the psychological state of a person. With the right selection, they will warm a cold room, oriented to the north and practically not receiving the beneficial effects of sunlight. nine0003

In this situation, you will need to choose a background from an arsenal of warm colors, including a variety of shades from yellow radiance to red-violet nobility. Accordingly, it is advisable to decide on a room on the south side with a predominance of cold shades from another part of the color palette.

Summing up the above, it can be noted that in the field of interior design, the selection of color solutions is usually carried out with a focus not only on fashion trends and current trends. An important role is played by personal preferences and ideas about comfort and coziness. The priority is not just functional interiors, but soothing ones, allowing you to relieve irritation, relax and unwind. nine0003

1. Single space

Design: Natalia Vasilyeva

You won’t surprise anyone with a combined kitchen-living room - a fashion trend has long passed into the category of classics. The concept of a single space within which you can cook, communicate with family or friends, work and relax is firmly established both in the minds of people and in the layouts of new apartments. More and more euro-twos and euro-threes are appearing - this is housing designed according to European canons, where the bedrooms are made small and isolated, and up to 50% of the area is allocated for a spacious kitchen-living room, where all life is in full swing. nine0003
