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.

It’s time to look at the color trends for 2023. The colors we use in our homes strongly reflect our personalities and style. While some people gravitate towards timeless and classic paint colors others want to go a bit bolder by adding vibrant color tones to their homes.

Each year, the color experts from all the leading paint brands in the world chose their Color of the Year and publish their Color Forecast. Often choosing one trending color accompanied by a color palette with hues that perfectly compliment the Color of the Year.  

These trending paint colors don’t only show up as wall colors in our homes. But they are visible in every art form,  from fashion to graphic design and even technology. This year we see richer color tones compared to last years color trends, but we’re still getting color inspiration from nature.

This post will show an overview of every paint color of the year 2023 chosen by the leading paint companies.

The Nordroom’s Color Trend for 2023: (Warm) Yellow

As editor of The Nordroom, I see many beautifully styled homes and trending interior design. The time we live in at the moment is rather uncertain. And this is reflected in the interior design and colors we choose to surround ourselves with. And for 2023 I see strong gravitation toward warm colors, especially warm yellow tones.

Yellow – as any color – comes in many different color shades. From the very light pastel yellow to a deep ochre yellow. And it’s the warm yellow tones that are popping up more frequently in homes around the world.

These deep and rich colors add a warm and slightly earthy tone to a room. A warm yellow is also very versatile. In modern homes, it adds warmth and color. And for period homes it enhances the historic feeling of the home as it’s a shade that has been used in homes for centuries.

5 designer's opinions on how to use it in the interior

According to the largest interior paint brand in Europe Dulux and experts from AkzoNobel, the main color of 2023 will be the pastel shade of yellow Wild Wonder. It brings light and warmth, but in what rooms will it look organic?

Publication date: 07. 10.2022

Material prepared: Olga Songe

Wild Wonder was inspired by the color of grains and fresh seed pods and is meant to remind us of our connection to nature. Whether this shade is suitable for Russian interiors and, if so, how and where it is better to use this complex and extraordinary tone, we learned from the pros.

Elena Markina: “In my opinion, the Wild Wonder shade is quite suitable for Russia”

“I used to dislike yellow and its shades: it seemed to me suitable only for budget interiors in the IKEA style or for children. But one day I suggested to the customers that as an alternative to the traditional white kitchen, the facades should be made in a pleasant soft shade of yellow. The color is bold enough, but to my surprise, the customers supported the idea.

We tested several closely related samples as we wanted a noble dusty yellow that would not wear out over time. The result exceeded expectations - the kitchen has been pleasing the owners for more than a year and gives a sunny mood in any weather. We also painted the walls of the hallway in pastel yellow — already from the entrance, the apartment greets owners and guests with a positive attitude and sets you up for coziness, comfort and a warm atmosphere.

In my opinion, the Wild Wonder shade is quite suitable for Russia. In our climate, there are not so many sunny days a year: by adding a touch of yellow to the interior, you can get your own sun at home every day.

This shade goes well with grey, powdery, vanilla, complex shades of green and turquoise, burgundy and all pastel shades. It is important to understand what mood we would like to get - then you can choose how to place accents, whether to use Wild Wonder as a wall color or as a point.

Mila Struchkova: “The choice of the natural shade of Wild Wonder reflects the interest and importance of the topic of ecology”

“The choice of the natural shade of Wild Wonder reflects the interest and importance of the topic of ecology. It will fill the house with the energy of the sun and life. The softness and warmth of this shade will be an excellent solution for decorating a bedroom, living room or bathroom. It is appropriate to use it in all rooms where the windows face north or northwest and there is a lack of light. A light pastel shade of yellow goes well with natural wood finishes, as well as expressive architectural concrete in an industrial loft.

In the interior, yellow can become an accent or additional color, it is good to combine it with white and with adjacent pastel and light gray tones. In small rooms, it is enough to highlight one wall with a color or add a wide decorative strip on a wall of a different color. And the walls of the nursery can be decorated with yellow dots, strokes or stripes on a white background. By the way, the larger the pattern, the more interesting and effective this decor will look.

Ekaterina Rebrova: “Dilute yellow walls with neutral colors — white, beige, gray”

“If yellow shades appeared in my projects, it was always in the design of children's rooms and playrooms. It's all about the association that yellow evokes: energetically bright, smiling and warm people.

When it comes to pastel yellow, which is in vogue, most often I combine it with white walls. In the children's room in the photo, the work area is completely painted in honey yellow, and the walls opposite are painted in a percentage ratio of 30/70, where 70% is white.

Another example is the children's playroom, where the upholstery of a large couch-bed is made in a bright amber color suitable for an active baby. An additional accent is lemon yellow, which you see in the decor - a football player's t-shirt.

My advice: if you decide to make yellow walls in your interior, remember that it is better not to use more than two shades of yellow and dilute it with neutral colors - white, beige, gray.

Natalya Preobrazhenskaya: “The rich tone of Wild Wonder can overload the space”

“In my experience, the Dulux Institute’s forecasts quite accurately catch trends in color and design – but, of course, any such “fashionable” palette needs to be localized, customized. See how the color will work in a particular interior under a certain light, make coloring - and based on this already create your own image of the space.

The sophisticated shade of Wild Wonder, which has hints of gray and green, will work great in Russian interiors. It gives a feeling of calmness, confidence, you want to dive into it, dig into it, like in an autumn haystack, on a warm golden September day.

Interior fragment. Design: design studio "Cozy apartment".

This pastel yellow can be used for large areas such as an accent wall. White looks very advantageous on it - it becomes active, strong, fresh. You can also choose shades of blue, brown, gray as companions to Wild Wonder.

However, the rich tone of Wild Wonder (as shown by Dulux) can overwhelm a space. Therefore, it is necessary to use it for total coloring, for example, of an entire room, very carefully.”

Anna Razumeeva-Smirnova: “It is this shade of yellow, whitened, slightly dusty, with a slight hint of mustard, that has always been one of my favorites”

“I don’t know what color is in trend now, but just such a shade of yellow, whitened, slightly dusty, with a slight tint mustard has always been one of my favorites. It is especially good in combination with dirty pink, with the same dusty shade. faded peony color. This combination suitable for sophisticated young ladies, subtly sensitive and emotionally receptive.

Male aesthetes will appreciate the combination of pale yellow with mouse grey. Yellow-beige and sand colors only benefit when you add a little cold tones to them. it gives freshness to their perception, leaves feeling of powdery stuffiness. Grey colour, of course, very popular because of its variability and adaptability to the flowers surrounding it, but without companions looks boring. That shade of yellow how Wild Wonde is able to give noble refinement not only to gray, but and the color of the water, the color of the sea wave.

C emerald green so yellow can be used not only in modern but also in classic interiors. All in all, there are no unfashionable and unpopular colors, there are boring combinations. Trends come and go, but subtle combinations and beautiful interiors deliver aesthetic pleasure always.
