Popular interior paint colors for 2023

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.

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.

“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.”

“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.”

Embracing the unexpected.

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

Using the “Fab Five.”

“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.

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. This library in Greenwich, Connecticut features Benjamin Moore Symphony Blue. (Photo: John Bessler)

A new twist on brown and blue.

“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

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.

How to choose wall paint and what to look for?

The degree of resistance of the coating to aggressive environmental factors depends on the quality of the selected paint.

When selecting a paint, they are guided by the following criteria :

What kind of work is the paint intended for? Wall paints are exterior and interior (interior). Compositions of the first type have increased resistance to precipitation and fading in the sun.
Which room will be painted ? For the bathroom or kitchen, special types of paint are used with increased resistance to abrasion, moisture and high temperatures. Latex and silicone emulsions have such properties. For the bedroom and living room, bright and abrasion-resistant acrylic paints are suitable. Water-based compositions are environmentally friendly, so they are perfect for a children's room.
Which invoice to choose ? According to this criterion, all paints are matte, semi-matte, semi-gloss and glossy. Matte does not shine, so it perfectly hides surface defects. Semi-gloss have a barely noticeable shine and have increased resistance to abrasion, so they can be safely washed. Semi-gloss emulsions can be washed, so they are great for nurseries, kitchens and bathrooms. Glossy paint is the most brilliant and resistant to abrasion, but you need to work with it carefully, because it emphasizes all the surface irregularities.

Another important factor is the abrasion resistance of . This characteristic is especially important if the walls will be painted in a high traffic area.
