We aren’t quite finished with 2024, but designers and companies are already looking ahead to 2025 and sharing what paint colors will be trending. The shades of blue that came into popularity this year continue to take up space in the trending category in 2025, but with a twist. Deeper bolder shades take center stage and definitely confirm that designs have moved away from cool toned grays. The following are 2025 color of the year choice from major paint companies.
Valspar 2025 Color of the Year – Encore 8002
This deep blue color will make a statement in a room. Whether you decide to go for it and paint a wall this shade or choose to incorporate this color through painted furniture, this is a bold color from Valspar that will start conversations.
Behr 2025 Color of the Year – Rumors
A rich, ruby red shade designed to add warmth to a room, Rumors is on the earth toned side of red; a modern update to the rich red of the 1990s that graced many walls and required many coats or primer to cover up. This color of the year seems made for a Victorian home or designs with an eclectic twist to them.
Dutch Boy Paints 2025 Color of the Year – Mapped Blue
Dutch Boy Paints recognizes the trend in the millennial and gen z consumers to find products that are timeless and durable; their selection of mapped blue as color of the year reflects a choice that is versatile for many design aesthetics and can continue to be used even as a consumer’s style and taste alters. The yellow undertone of the paint compliments many other colors. This is also one of the lighter shade selections.
Glidden 2025 Color of the Year – Purple Basil
Another bold color of the ear, Purple Basil is a jewel tone paint that will compliment both cool and warm undertones. This shade could also serve as an accent on a piece of furniture or even grace a welcoming front door. I wonder if this shade is named after the herb.
Minwax 2025 Color of the Year – Violet
Jumping on the purple trend, Minwax has named Violet as its color of the year. This bold shade will help homeowners make a statement when reinventing an old piece of furniture into something new. I think it would be interesting to take an old unused piece of furniture and turn it into a statement piece.
Stain Master 2025 Color of the Year – Truffle
Truffle is a rich deep brown shade that can be used in homes with a variety of design styles. This chocolate brown paint can serve as an accent to other neutral shades or stand out on its own.
Would you be bold enough to grace the walls of your home in these deep rich colors selected for the 2025 color of the year or are you happy to incorporate these shades through accent pieces? As design styles turn to more maximalist and deeper and warmer color approaches, I will be interested to see if people embrace these shades by bringing them into their own homes.
