2023 Paint Color Trends Designers Can’t Stop Talking About
Designers are already abuzz over 2023 paint color trends. Here, 17 industry experts let us in on what’s popular, what’s working and what’s out when it comes to top interior paint colors for the year ahead.
“Greens reflect nature and there is a shade of it for everyone,” notes Chicago designer Sarah Montgomery. (Photo: Ryan McDonald)
Bringing the outdoors in.“I use different shades of green and teal in every room. It can create a pop or serves as a backdrop for other colors to stand out.”
—Sarah Montgomery, Sarah Montgomery Design | Chicago
“A cozy mauve like Benjamin Moore’s Cashmere Wrap is a perfect example of a color that can flow throughout the home,” says Hudson, New York, designer Nicole Fisher. (Photo: Helena Palazzi)
Carrying color throughout the home.“Clients are still being adventurous with color. Instead of one bold room, we’re seeing it throughout. It’s about creating beauty in every space, not just one.”
—Nicole Fisher, BNR Interiors | Hudson, New York
“Blue and greens are our go-tos right now,” says Denver-based designer Andrea Schumacher. In this office she used a navy from Benjamin Moore to add rich color. (Photo: Roger Davies)
Looking beyond gray.“We love color and always will. Gray is a trend we are definitely over. Instead, we use a lot of blues and greens.”
—Andrea Schumacher, Andrea Schumacher Interiors | Denver

Embracing the unexpected.“We recently paired a deep sapphire lacquer with chartreuse silk drapes. We received lot of fun, positive reactions to the unexpected color pairing.”

“Sophisticated and refined only begin to describe this room in Sherwin Williams’ Agreeable Gray,” says Los Angeles- and Orlando-based designer John McClain.

“The neutral and classic combination of black, white, gray, green and brown will always provide the perfect pallet for every interior. They are rooted in nature and therefore resonate with the core of humanity.”
—John McClain, John McClain Design | Los Angeles and Orlando
Silver throw pillows and drapes set off the blue lacquer walls in this room designed by New York designer Jamie Drake.
Pairing blue with silver.“Pale and mid-blue accents paired with white and silver resonate with so many. The popularity is because it is gender neutral, crisp and like fresh air.”
—Jamie Drake, Drake/Anderson | New York City
“From the kitchen to the bathroom to the living room, the color green is a strong player,” says Los Angeles designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who used Benjamin Moore’s Weeping Willow in this kitchen.
Going green.
“Green in almost every shade is having the most amazing comeback. The richer shades like emerald and forest are really strong and will be here to stay for a while.”
—Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Martyn Lawrence Bullard | Los Angeles
Florida designer Sandra Asdourian set off a medium blue from Sherwin Williams with varying shades of the color and touches of white.
Turning to blue and white for the win.“Blue and white is classic but can be contemporary, traditional or coastal.”
—Sandra Asdourian, Sandra Asdourian Interiors | Naples, Florida

Mixing paint and texture.“In California, some clients are requesting whites, creams and beiges with a subtle amount of texture on the walls. This will require limewash or plaster to achieve the desired vibe.
People really need a sense of calm at home, and this combination has a bright and airy, yet warm feel to it.”

Make way for purple.“Purple is a color we’ve rarely seen used in bedroom designs, but we are expecting more of. Color psychology has proven purples are romantic, peaceful and luxurious. The buzz surrounding Digital Lavender as the 2023 Color of the Year has only reassured us that purple is a definite for 2023 design.”

Turn to timeless color combos.
“The power of black next to white stands the test of time. Because they are both neutrals, the combination is bold and dramatic without being brash. Black can bring wow factor as a contrast window sash or passage door and can also highlight architectural detailing that would otherwise go unnoticed.”
—Emilie Munroe, Studio Munroe | San Francisco
White will never go out of style, but the key is to add pops of color for interest, advises Hillary Stamm. (Photo: Lauren Pressey)
Keep the color contrasts coming.“Clients are looking for a timeless elegance but with contrast and a touch of something that creates a special and unique look and space to call their own.”
—Hillary Stamm, HMS Interiors | Manhattan Beach, California
“While there is a time and place for quiet, neutral greige, we’re advocating for something a bit more opinionated—we look for color with a point of view,” notes Kathleen Walsh.

“We’ve noted that brown and blue is slowly making a comeback. The combination allows us to easily mix antique and modern; however, it’s notably different than how we used in the ‘90s. We’re going way more saturated in the blues, picking up on deep complex hues for a more luminous, dynamic color.”
—Kathleen Walsh, Kathleen Walsh Interiors | New York, New York
“While neutrals can sometimes be seen as playing it safe, venturing into bolder shades keeps a room contemporary and dramatic,” notes Leslie Murphy. This primary bedroom project features a Benjamin Moore Soot. (Photo: Lisa Hubbard)
Channel deep charcoals and browns.“Heading into 2023, we’re really into darker and dramatic shades, such as deep charcoals and browns. These tones are not only elegant and upscale when complemented with tonal furnishings and accessories, but they bring a warm and comfortable feel to the space.
”
—Leslie Murphy, Murphy Maude Interiors | Memphis, Tennessee
Sometimes, it all boils down to the basics, as San Francisco Noz Nozawa notes about pairing oranges and blues. This Victorian parlor features C2 Tortoise with burnishing and gold resin drip by Caroline Lizarraga. (Photo: Colin Price Photography)
Opposites attract.“Across all eras in design, I have always loved orange-red-brick tones and teal-blue tones together. From a color theory standpoint, these tones are perfect opposites on the color wheel; but I think there’s something so iconic about this pairing—from Southwestern indigenous jewelry pairing coral and turquoise stones together, to every Hot-and-Cold water faucet.”
—Noz Nozawa, Noz Design | San Francisco
Peignoir by Farrow and Ball graces the wainscoting of designer Susie Novak’d own dining room, where the muted rose is paired with gray floral wallpaper by Cole & Son. (Photo: Thomas Kuoh)
Pink is sticking around.
“Dusty pinks, salmon, and taupes. These warm neutrals, in particular, really came up in the last couple of years or so, and I think are now considered mainstays. There is something so soothing about a dusty pink that also feels special and unique.”
—Susie Novak, Susie Novak Interiors | Oakland, California
Virginia Toledo likens the timelessness of neutrals and blacks to the appeal of a pair of cream linen pants or perfect little black dress. Here, a living space project features Benjamin Moore Winter White with Benjamin Moore Decorator White. (Photo: Jacob Snavely)
Play nice with neutrals.“Neutrals became the response to living with greige for so many years. We find that these tones, paired with crisp whites and a dash of black, never go out of style.”
—Virginia Toledo, Toledo Geller | Franklin Lakes, New Jersey

What To Expect For 2023 Paint Color Trends

Autumn may be the most wonderful time of the year, not just because it's pumpkin spice, apple cider, and sweater season! It's also the time when paint companies finally release their signature Color of the Year (COTY). All the top paint companies, including Behr, Benjamin Moore, and Sherwin-Williams, spend all year carefully watching trend forecasts, design news, and the minutiae of popular culture to select their colors.
Each company has a different process for selecting its COTY, but some broad trends include building mood boards to identify color stories. In 2020, the LA Times reported on PPG Paints' 3.
5-day working retreat to determine their color of the year. Color specialists spent days in meetings and clipping magazines, collaging between conference calls. Other companies follow similar patterns but almost always come to different choices for their Color of the Year, which is part of what makes the selection process so fascinating.
What were the 2022 Colors of the Year?

In 2022, something funny happened with the Color of the Year (COTY) releases. If you happen to notice a lot of pale, earthy sage green appearing on your Pinterest and Instagram feeds, it's no accident. Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Behr, all released soft green tones as their signature COTY — October Mist, Evergreen Fog, and Breezeway, respectively. The Washington Post predicts that the meditative zen shades of green will resonate with people in 2022 for a few reasons. As a result of the pandemic, conversations around mental health were put to the forefront of the cultural exchange.
Meditation apps saw users skyrocket. And people found themselves pulled to the countryside for vacations and weekends away as cities stood still.
In the Washington Post article, Sue Wadden, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams, reports that this unprecedented consensus speaks to the unique time we are living in. After an all-green 2022, plenty of folks are excited to see what the 2023 colors will bring.
What colors do we know so far?
Behr
Two of the major paint companies have already released their colors of the year. Behr announced their 2023 Color of the Year (COTY) on September 15 — Blank Canvas DC-003. The name is almost poetic after more than two years of social and political upheaval. Blank Canvas is a refreshing, serene, and open color that can be adapted to many styles and rooms. Behr recommends pairing it with muted earth tones, like dusty taupe, grey pinks, and olive greens.
Glidden, on the other hand, went for a stunning shade of teal — Vining Ivy PPG1148-6.
This rich, soothing shade is more luxurious than the sage zen greens of 2022. Vining Ivy is well suited to hygge homes and more classic homes with a flair for gloomy Victorian style. Glidden has selected nearly identical complementary colors to Behr – plenty of modern, muted shades of classic earth tones. This means that while they chose very different COTYs, they had similar color stories emerge in their selection process.
Predictions for 2023 COTYs
Coloro + WGSN
WGSN is a consumer trend forecasting agency that works to identify trends across many industries and popular cultures, like which cocktails will top bar menus or how to exploit the future of digital fashion, so while they don't work as a paint manufacturer, they do have a fascinating insight into color trends. WGSN paired with Coloro, a color ordering system (similar to Pantone), to identify their 2023 Color Of The Year — they arrived on a pale purple shade called Digital Lavender.
This soothing shade can be found in a free-growing flower meadow and across digital spaces, which Coloro + WGSN explain is essential.
The rest of their 2023 COTYs include a combination of calming pastels, like Tranquil Blue, and rich gem tones, like Verdigris, a lush teal blue, or Sundial, a turmeric orange-yellow. They remark that people will still be looking for a balance of natural, relaxing colors to project wellness and stability and hyper-pigmented shades that will invigorate the system as consumers try to find their footing after years of upheaval.
One color to rule them all
Sherwin-Williams
While Sherwin-Williams, the number two best-selling paint and coatings brand of 2022, according to Paint & Coatings Industry, has yet to release its official 2023 Color Of The Year (COTY), it has released its Colormix Forecast, which the COTY will be selected from. The Colormix Forecast is a set of curated color palettes, usually sorted according to a broader theme for the year.
This year, Sherwin-Williams released Terra, an earthy collection made of 4 smaller sub-groups: Biome, Lore, Nexus, and Origin.
Biome includes SW's 2022 COTY Evergreen Fog SW 9130 and several other misty grey-hued greens and blues, as well as a rich cognac and dusty yellow shade. Lore offers punchier gem tones like a teal peacock blue and a vibrant orange. Nexus focuses on neutral clays, combining natural, powdery shades and '80s postmodern pastels. Finally, the Origin palette offers the most variation between colors. Blues, neutral whites and greys, and spicy red and yellow are an ideal palette for eclectic decorators who want their home to hold many colors. We can't wait to see which shade will become the Sherwin-Williams COTY.

Months before Pantone announced its Color of the Year 2022, less established paint manufacturers competed to see which colors would be hot next year.
We said in previous articles that the choice of the main color of the year is only a marker of the mood in society. If you don't want to match it, there's nothing to worry about. But it is important to understand how these markers are formed and how they change depending on the global agenda.

Let's open our selection from the forecast of the Dulux paint and varnish brand, which belongs to the AkzoNobel concern. That, in turn, has the International Center for Aesthetics, which has been studying and predicting color trends for 30 years. Every year, a team of architects, creatives and designers come together to discuss significant cultural and life changes. After brainstorming, the team forms a big picture of the main mood trends in society. AkzoNobel then translates this painting into the language of color.
This year, of course, the pandemic and fatigue from its consequences have come to the fore. Therefore, Dulux predicts that in 2022, a light and cheerful shade of blue - Bright Skies (“bright skies”) will be popular.

WGSN Color Trends
But trend forecasting company WGSN teamed up with Coloro to show a slightly different take on next year's color trends. Note that the WGSN report is more focused on the clothing industry, while the previous companies produce paints for interiors.
According to WGSN, spring/summer 2022 will feature five key shades: Olive Oil, bright orange Mango Sorbet, hot pink Orchid Flower, Atlantic Blue and pale yellow Butter.
Fall/Winter 2022/2023: Same Orchid Flower, Mint Jade, Deep Lazuli Blue, Dark Oak Dark Brown and Honeycomb Yellow.
Spring/Summer 2022/2023: , Luscious Red, Verdigris Emerald, Digital Lavander Purple, Sundial Yellow and Tranquil Blue.
These colors will evoke feelings of optimism, hope, stability and balance. Natural shades are caused by a growing interest in nature. And rich colors express the influence of the virtual world, where new forms of self-expression flourish.
Virtual worlds are a key trend in 2022.
Visually, this will be expressed in purple tones, neon, stylization for game spaces, unrealistic images and AR. Read more about visual trends in 2022 in our article.
More Pantone Color Trends
The Color Institute also shared its seasonal forecasts for London Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week. Pantone has unveiled ten vibrant colors for spring/summer 2022 and five classic off-season shades. Poetic descriptions of these palettes aside, they combine the need for comfort and the desire to break down the boundaries created by the pandemic in order to be able to express ourselves again. One way or another, fashion designers have already adopted some of Pantone's predictions.
