Sherwin-Williams 2025 Color Capsule of the Year: A New Era in Home Design Trends

November 1st 2024

For the first time, Sherwin-Williams is shaking up its annual color reveal. In celebration of their 15th year selecting a Color of the Year, they’ve introduced an entire palette rather than focusing on a single color. This fresh approach brings nine complementary shades that offer everyone, from design enthusiasts to first-time homeowners, an opportunity to find the perfect color story for their space. Here at Pink Flamingo Painting, we love this broader range—it acknowledges that no single shade fits every home and gives our clients more options to play with the latest trends.

Each color in this “Color Capsule” has been thoughtfully chosen to offer versatility and modern appeal. Here’s a look at the hues Sherwin-Williams has chosen for 2025 and inspiration on how you can incorporate them into your home:

01 Grounded SW 6089

A calming and versatile brown, Grounded SW 6089 is perfect for creating an instant tranquil vibe. This color effortlessly connects with nature, bringing a rooted, earthy feel into living rooms, home offices, or entryways. Its subtle warmth works beautifully with natural textures like wood and stone, creating spaces that feel both stylish and grounded.

Sunbleached SW 9585, a delicate balance between warm and cool, offers a refreshing take on neutral. This unique, light neutral sits somewhere between white, beige, and gray, lending an airy brightness to rooms without feeling stark. It’s ideal for open spaces, like dining rooms and hallways, where it catches the light and creates a soft, expansive atmosphere.

Chartreuse SW 0073 is a vibrant yellow-green that adds life and personality to any room. This playful shade is perfect for spaces that need a little extra spark, such as kitchens, breakfast nooks, or bathrooms. Its bold color brings a touch of nature’s energy indoors, working equally well with modern, eclectic, or classic decor styles.

Deep and stormy, Rain Cloud SW 9639 blends classic and contemporary elements with ease. This rich, gray shade adds a cozy sophistication to bedrooms, home offices, or reading nooks. Pair it with soft whites or warm wood accents for a peaceful yet stylish space, making it an inviting backdrop for any room in need of a serene feel.

Clove SW 9605, a near-black brown, introduces depth and warmth in a subtle way that doesn’t overpower. Perfect for accent walls, cabinetry, or cozy corners, this rich color brings out the beauty in warm metals and rustic textures, making it ideal for spaces where you want a moody, intimate vibe.

Malabar SW 9110 is a soft, inviting shade that instantly elevates the comfort level of a room. Its delicate warmth makes it perfect for layering with other gentle hues in bedrooms or living areas, creating a serene, harmonious environment. Malabar brings a quiet sophistication that feels both refined and restful.

With a hint of cinnamon and gold, Bosc Pear SW 6390 exudes a luxurious, organic warmth. Ideal for creating a cozy atmosphere, this color is perfect for dens, dining rooms, or anywhere you want a welcoming, grounded feel. Its rich hue complements natural materials, giving spaces a sense of depth and timeless appeal.
