Sherwin-Williams Color Capsule of the Year 2025
Usually, paint companies choose one color as their color of the year. But this year, Sherwin-Williams is doing things differently. To celebrate 15 years of Color of the Year, Sherwin-Williams has created a carefully curated Color Capsule of the Year 2025 with nine of their most essential and inspiring colors that help you tell your most authentic story.

The unassuming and approachable nature of the capsule makes it a welcome addition to any space, in any combination. With its natural earthiness and subtle elegance, this flexible palette has the power to instantly transform the atmosphere of any room.
Whether the goal is to infuse a living room with a laid-back, cozy feel, evoke a sense of quiet reflection in an office, or enhance the warmth and conversation in a kitchen, this collection offers the limitless variety needed to create a personalized look. It extends an extraordinary invitation to craft an authentic color story that reflects individual style.
The Colors in the Sherwin-Williams Color Capsule of the Year 2025
The capsule is a collection of colors chosen for how well they work together—as a complete palette or in carefully picked pairings—and how well they can adapt to virtually any combination, design style, or aesthetic and tell any designer or homeowner’s unique color story.
“There was a vintage vibe that we kept leaning towards when we were looking at the palette. Nostalgia is having a big impact on design. People are craving those authentic pieces of the past in their homes, so this palette pulled influences from those iconic design styles.”
