A curious thing has happened in the past couple of years regarding the paint colors major companies have selected as their “it” colors of the year. During my 10 years of reporting on the various Colors of the Year chosen by these companies, the collected selections often diverged, tending to resemble an assortment of crayons in a crayon box rather than a cohesive theme. But recently there’s been a near consensus among paint companies on what they predict will be the top color trends in the coming year.
Last year was mostly about shades of blue, and while this year includes a few similar hues, the pendulum has pretty much swung to the warmer side of the color spectrum. Shades of purple, red and brown are now top colors. Whether the paint brands are checking in with one another regarding their selections or they’ve simply fine-tuned their trend-casting radar, it’s clear: Warm colors are in. Here are 10 paint colors expected to thrive in 2025.

Once you’ve selected and purchased a paint color, it’s time to commit. Paint will look quite different during the painting process, and it is very important not to judge the color until it has been properly applied in the necessary number of coats — at least two, but often three or more, depending on the product and shade.
It’s truly wisest not to judge the color at all until at least the next day, and to give yourself some time to adjust to the change in your space before jumping to any conclusions.
This is especially true with darker shades, which will visually shrink the space in a way you will need a little time to get used to.
