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
Hayward Photography"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
Katarzyna Bialasiewicz//Getty Images"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

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

The 7 Top Paint Color Trends of 2023
Step into any museum or gallery and you’ll see a hardworking co-star that gets zero billing.
It’s not the curator or docent, nor is it the lighting or layout. (Though these players are critical.) This co-star is… the paint on the backdrop walls. The colors—whether they’re a neutral gray, a pigmented emerald, or a steely powder blue (a hue I fell for at the Nelson-Atkins Museum)—are art in and of themselves. Meticulously chosen by a color expert, these paints amplify the artwork on the walls. They’re proof of just how powerful paint can be, which I’ve thought about as I corralled the paint color trends of 2023. Paint color transforms a space’s energy.
For 2023, the experts are seeing an earthy rainbow. Sapphire deep blues, muted greens, and an in-between ethereal shade are all in the forecast. There’s room in this vision for neutrals (as there always is), plus one color that took me by surprise. Curious to know? Keep reading for the top seven paint color trends of 2023 as predicted by interior designers.

The 7 Paint Color Trends Set to Be Big in 2023
Each of these shades irrevocably amplifies a room. They’re magic—the greatest interior design trick ever known.
Every product is curated with care by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.
#1: Forest Green
“In 2023, we’re going to continue to see a lot more earth tones in paint colors and textiles,” says Meredith Owen of Meredith Owen Interiors—and this includes forest greens. This color evokes the calming wisdom of nature. “Creating spaces with these darker earth tones is really going to make for some spectacular rooms—and I’m ready!”
Best for: Accent walls and trim. As Owen says, “don’t be afraid to paint your kitchen cabinets or accent trim a dark green.
”
#2: Greige
It’s back: the gorgeous hue that evokes the vibes of a cloudy sky. Greige was seen in 2022, gracing walls and cabinets, but it will grow stronger in 2023, believes interior designer and TV personality Breegan Jane, who describes it as a chalk-like color that falls right between gray and beige. “It is a perfect wall color when you want to bring tones from your hardscape inside. It provides such subtle depth and warmth to interior spaces,” she adds. “I’m seeing it in many interior projects. I think it will be the new white for next year.”
Best for: The living room, dining room, and (really!) everywhere. Because of its complementary qualities, greige is a chameleon. “Natural tones are so versatile and calming, and the emergence of “greige” will mute color palettes perfectly in a way that will not only positively impact us visually but also emotionally and mentally,” says Jane. “I love that it works well for furniture, but can also act as an updated wood stain if you’re trying to get away from dark tones.
”
#3: Dark Blue
Want to create a dramatic vibe? Cristina Lehman of C. Lehman Home says to lean into dark blues, which she foresees being a hit in 2023. “I love the darker blues for a cool and modern look,” says the designer, who suggests mixing dark blue with warmer-colored décor accessories.
Best for: The powder bathroom, small study, and cozy family room. If you love dark blue and want to go grander, Lehman says to add drama to the dining room.

Call it Aubergine. Call it eggplant. I’m calling it one of the best color forecasts for 2023. This gorgeous rich purple is a pick of designer Laura Pankonien’s—and it’s slated to add serious design drama.
Best for: The powder room. Pankonien says this deep rich color creates “a special moment” when used to color the vanity.
#5: Muted Green
We saw quite a stir around “dusty” green in 2022, which is looking to continue into next year.
Tanya Smith-Shiflet of Unique Kitchens & Baths sees muted greens taking the reins for various rooms. Different from the pigment quality of forest green, muted (or dusty) greens are soft, neutral, and timeless.
Best for: The kitchen, mudroom, and home library.
#6: Natural Tan
Laura Pankonien is also embracing natural tans and beiges for 2023. One could argue that tans have always had a place in the interior design color roster, but it rarely gets a slot in the forecast or beloved list, which is a shame. Pankonien embraces this shade for how it amplifies fixtures and details around it. “It’s great with a large-veined Arabescato marble, unlacquered brass, and black accents,” she adds. Simply stunning.
Best for: The bath or kitchen. “We love to mix a tan perimeter cabinet with a white oak island,” says Pankonien.
#7: Moody Brown
The great surprise… and it’s a beautiful one. Well x Design founder and designer Lauren Sullivan says saturated warm earth tones will hold a special place in homes this coming year—and one of her favorites is moody brown.
Classically overlooked, brown is a neutral that has staying power. The color adds “a comforting and grounding appeal,” believes Sullivan.
Best for: A cozy study or bedroom.
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. This 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.

Colors in the interior 2023: fashion trends
If you want to know what colors will be popular in interior design in 2023, this material is for you. Designers are increasingly leaning towards cheerful and invigorating hues, a playful palette of wildflowers and natural earthy tones.
Classic neutrals like gray and white are starting to fade into the background. For modern interiors, more and more often chooses warmer and enveloping shades, such as cream, coffee, brown, terracotta.
The most important source of inspiration for interior designers is still nature, in all its rich and bold colors. Green of all shades begins to replace neutral tones, and rich blue becomes the main symbol of calm and confidence.
Modern interiors become more optimistic and expressive. Pastel colors are rapidly growing in popularity, especially muted ones: powdery purples, dirty pinks and desaturated yellows. Refreshing bright colors give energy and fun.
Modern design breaks the rules and does it with confidence. The palette is expanding to include combinations that were previously considered unthinkable. Increasingly, there are projects with non-standard color combinations, for example, blue and orange, emerald and dark blue, lilac and mustard. Various shades of turquoise and purple are gaining popularity.
We show you 10 living room color trends for 2023 and hope you find colors and combinations that will inspire you.
Intense Neutrals
Soothing shades are still popular: rich browns, soft creamy notes, greenish grays.
They help create a sophisticated and soothing space, and in 2023 we will see more of the deeper neutrals.
Discreet color palettes combined with tactile textures and natural materials create a special atmosphere. Such shades are the perfect frame for stylish and discreet accessories. In combination with textured textiles, they make the room warmer and more comfortable.
New WorksGreen and Blue
Along with rich browns and pale creams, the color choices in 2023 will be dominated by brighter colors inspired by nature. Fresh, invigorating shades of blue and green blend surprisingly well with each other. These cold tones can be offset by softer details in muddy pink or warm caramel.
Studio DugganMuted pastels
Cheerful and warm pastels are the main interior color trend for 2023. If the palettes of pink and purple seem a little too sweet and glamorous for you, why not take a look at the more mature, muted hues.
Pictured is an interior designed by the Swiss studio Note, which combines a richness of muted tones.
The designers have developed an eight-tone color scheme that complements the yellow paint on the walls. The result is a harmonious rich color scheme, the room organically combines shades of purple, pink, gray-green and yellow.
Wood is no longer white
More and more designers are moving away from pure white on wood surfaces. Instead of bright white elements, softer shades come: stone gray, rich green or dark brown. One trend is to choose a bright color for the baseboard and door frame that contrasts with the pattern of the wallpaper. Black and dark gray tones look great on wood products and skirting boards. The dark color contrasts beautifully with the delicate, beautiful wallpaper and gives the room a modern feel.
Little GreeneA mix of warm and cold
If you want to update a room with pink walls, pay attention to the lavender shade. The delicate combination of pink and beige makes the room warm, while the contrasting window in cool tones creates enough complexity to give the interior character.
Mixing cool and warm colors in the same room can be quite a challenge. It is important that the colors are combined with the palette of materials. Wood is considered neutral and can be safely inscribed in any color combination.
Margaret M De LangeInvigorating Orange
Orange has a special place in interior design trends 2023. It can be spicy and energetic or more subdued, terracotta. You can opt for softer hues for a sophisticated interior or go for explosive orange for a Seventies look.
Dun AluinnSpice Color
At the peak of popularity are discreet spicy colors with an earthy aesthetic. Neutrals can be paired with warm muddy browns or rich spice colors. A rich brownish-red color fits perfectly into the autumn palette.
de Le CuonaCalm Blue
Dark colors are becoming more and more popular, in 2023 this trend will continue. Designers are increasingly leaning towards darker shades in the blue palette primarily because blue pairs easily with a variety of other colors, from cool architectural grays to hot pinks, tobacco tones, and precious greens like emerald and malachite.
