7 Paint Colors Set to Be Big in 2023 (7 photos)

7 Paint Colors Set to Be Big in 2023 (7 photos)

Unlike with last year’s near consensus on shades of green as the Color of the Year, the major paint companies’ 2023 selections are more of a mix. But these colors all seem to fall into one of three categories: soft neutrals, warm pink shades and rich, deep blue-greens. Let’s take a look at the paint colors you can expect to see more of in the coming year.

1. Vining Ivy by PPG and Glidden

Last year’s trending organic greens have transitioned into deeper, darker blue-greens that have an elegant yet cozy and welcoming vibe.

PPG and its brand Glidden have both selected Vining Ivy as their 2023 Color of the Year for paint. A handsome aqua-emerald, Vining Ivy can be used to create a snug bedroom retreat, as shown here, or put to work in the kitchen as an accent color, perhaps for an island base or pantry cabinets in a glossy sheen.

Keep in mind that you shouldn’t change the color scheme on or in your home just because another one is trendy. Instead, look at these paint colors as an opportunity to update the interior or exterior of your home if needed, and only if you see a color that you truly love. Alternatively, if you do find any of the colors captivating, you can bring them in through home decor items — there will no doubt be many pieces in these colors in the coming year.

2. Everglade Deck by Valspar

Rather than promoting one Color of the Year, Valspar has chosen to highlight 12 trending paint colors, as it did for 2022. One of its picks, Everglade Deck, is another saturated blue-green, a bit moodier than Vining Ivy.

It has surprising warmth for such a cool color. Here it infuses a bathroom with dramatic, elegant color.

3. Terra Rosa by Dunn-Edwards

While greens and blues remain popular with homeowners, increasingly warmer colors are making headway. Terra Rosa by Dunn-Edwards is a cinnamon-rose hue that’s a fresh take on more neutral browns and burgundies.

It’s somewhat vibrant but also has an earthy quality; this earthiness makes it a versatile pink. I can see using it in private spaces like bedrooms and bathrooms, but also in more public areas like dining rooms or on front doors.

4. Redend Point by Sherwin-Williams

If less intense pinks are more your jam, take a look at Redend Point. It’s a medium-dark sand color, which makes it a neutral, but it has a soft coral pink undertone that gives it a twist. This is not your typical tan.

The hint of warm pink allows the color to serve as a pleasing backdrop to hues that are more pink- or orange-forward, as seen here. But it’s still a neutral, and as such it can work with a variety of other colors, especially those also on the warmer side of the color spectrum.

5. Rustic Greige by Dutch Boy

Along the lines of Redend Point, Rustic Greige is a sandy tan with a kiss of pink. These moodier neutrals seem to be gaining popularity in interiors, likely as a reaction to the long-popular bright whites and cool, silvery grays.

I think this is a good choice for a neutral background wall color. You can then mix in touches of more vibrant colors, or stick with a warm neutral palette and add variety with different shades of ivory, beige, tan and brown.

6. Raspberry Blush by Benjamin Moore

Benjamin Moore’s selection also is a warm pink, but this one is super bold and vibrant.

This extroverted hue works best in public areas of a home where an energetic vibe is desired. It’s a conversation-stimulating color for the dining room — good for those who love to entertain.

I also could see this paint color working well on a front door. Paired with a light or midvalue neutral siding color and crisp white trim, it would be a fun, welcoming color with which to greet visitors.

7. Blank Canvas by Behr

If you’re seeking a clean slate for 2023, you can’t go wrong with Behr’s choice of Blank Canvas. It’s pretty clear Behr is making a statement with this choice. And that statement is that most of us probably could use a fresh start.

This go-anywhere off-white has a slight warm cast, making it a versatile jumping-off color that can be paired with just about any other color. But because it has a touch of warmth, it also can be used as the dominant color in a room and not feel too cold or sterile.
