2025–2026 Color Trends (Sherwin-Williams)

When it comes to transforming your home or business, color is everything. It sets the mood, tells a story, and creates the backdrop for life’s most meaningful moments. That’s why we keep a close eye on the annual color forecasts from Sherwin-Williams, the industry leader in paint innovation and design. Their recently released 2025 Color Capsule of the Year and 2026 Colormix® Forecast are packed with inspiration for anyone looking to refresh their space.

Grounded (SW 6089): A rich earthy brown that brings warmth and stability.
Sunbleached (SW 9585): A versatile neutral between white and gray—light, and serene.

Together, these shades offer something for everyone—whether you’re repainting a bedroom retreat, upgrading an office, or refreshing a gallery wall.

2026: Looking Ahead with the Colormix® Forecast

The 2026 forecast introduces four palettes that reflect both timeless elegance and forward-thinking design.

Frosted Tints – Soft pastels like airy lavenders and gentle greens that bring calm, ideal for bedrooms or spa-like bathrooms.
Sunbaked Hues – Warm terracottas, saffrons, and rustic reds that echo Houston’s love for bold, lively spaces.
Restorative Darks – Deep plums and moody browns that create intimate, cozy atmospheres.
Foundational Neutrals – Elevated whites, grays, and blacks that serve as the perfect canvas for layering texture and décor.

How to Use These Palettes in Your Home or Business

Residential: Refresh your living room with a modern neutral base like Sunbleached, accented with a bold Chartreuse chair or artwork.
