Taking its name from antique silverware, Sherwin-Williams Pewter Green fuses earthy forest green and aged gray into one timelessly moody hue.

Best described as a grounding gray-meets-green, Pewter Green might've been on the market for over twenty years, but it's been the go-to dark green paint in the design world since 2020.

Today, Pewter Green by Sherwin-Williams is still the go-to paint choice for every space in need of a little luxury and richness. 'While it draws inspiration from nature, it feels refined rather than overly rustic, making it a versatile choice across a variety of design styles,' explains Emily Kantz, Color Marketing Manager at Sherwin-Williams. 'Depending on the lighting, Pewter Green can read as a deep green, soft olive, or moody neutral, creating depth and warmth while maintaining a timeless appeal.'

'Pewter Green lends itself beautifully to a layered, collected aesthetic,' explains interior designer Kelsey McGregor, founder of Kelsey Leigh Design Co. 'It works especially well with the cottagecore approach to decorating, where color-drenching and character-rich details take center stage. I love pairing it with patterned curtains, floral textiles, vintage artwork, and pieces that feel timeworn and collected over time.'

It makes sense then that the moody green hue worked so well in the farmhouse kitchen pictured above. 'This project dates back to 2018, when black and white painted cabinetry was dominating kitchen design,' explains Kelsey. 'We wanted to push beyond those expected choices and try something that felt fresh while still being timeless. I had originally been inspired by a beautiful green-painted closet island I had seen and wondered what that color could look like on a much larger scale. Pewter Green felt like the perfect opportunity to bring that idea into a full kitchen, creating a space that felt rich, inviting, and a little unexpected at the time.'

'Pewter Green looks especially beautiful alongside natural wood tones and warm brass finishes,' adds Kelsey. 'Green and red/orange sit opposite one another on the color wheel, which creates a natural harmony between the paint color and the warmth of wood. I particularly love it paired with Minwax Weathered Oak stain on white oak. Kelsey suggests, 'Rusty reds and deep aubergine or plum tones can create a striking contrast while still feeling sophisticated, such as Sherwin-Williams Dark Auburn.'

'I wanted a color that felt moody, timeless, and sophisticated while still being practical for a hardworking family space,' explains Sarah Elizabeth Belleau, founder of Elizabeth Lane Interiors, on the green mudroom pictured above. 'Pewter Green has beautiful gray undertones that give it depth and softness, creating a cozy, elevated feel rather than reading overly bold. As a mudroom that sees plenty of daily traffic from my children, I also loved that it would gracefully hide the inevitable dirt, scuffs, and everyday wear while still feeling beautiful and intentional.'

Naming the colors that go with dark green, Elizabeth says, 'Pewter Green works best when layered with natural textures and warm accents. I love pairing it with unlacquered or aged brass fixtures, woven baskets, natural wood tones, linen textiles, and an earthy, textured rug. These organic elements soften the richness of the paint color and create a space that feels warm, inviting, and collected.'

'Pewter Green pairs beautifully with warm neutrals such as cream, ivory, taupe, and camel,' adds Elizabeth. 'It also complements natural materials like white oak, walnut, rattan, and stone. For metals, brass and bronze bring warmth and contrast, while black accents create a more dramatic, modern look. The versatility of Pewter Green is what makes it so timeless. It can feel traditional, modern, or organic depending on the materials layered alongside it.'

'We selected Pewter Green because our client expressed an interest in green cabinetry,' Katilyn of Ainslie Design Studio explains, referring to the moody kitchen pictured above. 'After evaluating the overall style of her condo and taking inventory of the existing décor, we noticed a moodier, more sophisticated aesthetic throughout the space. The dark hardwood flooring further reinforced this direction.'

'With these elements in mind, we felt Pewter Green would be an ideal choice. Its gray undertones create a muted, refined green that complements darker finishes without overwhelming the room. Rather than making the cabinetry a focal point, our goal was for it to feel like a seamless extension of the condo’s design.'

'Pewter Green SW 6208 works beautifully as both a statement color and a supporting neutral,' agrees Emily. 'It can add character to cabinetry, kitchen islands, built-ins, powder rooms, and accent walls, while also creating a cozy, enveloping feel when used throughout an entire room.'

'The color pairs especially well with natural materials such as warm wood tones, stone, linen, leather, and woven textures, helping to create spaces that feel layered, inviting, and connected to nature,' adds Emily. 'Homeowners can also incorporate brass or matte black finishes to further elevate the look.'

Designing a small kitchen can pose plenty of design challenges, from ensuring enough storage for appliances to allowing adequate countertop space, but landing on the right color palette in these compact rooms is just as important.

While white paint can be appealing in kitchens with limited square footage, in hopes of making them feel lighter and brighter, designers are increasingly opting for richer and more colorful tones from Sherwin-Williams. Adding depth, warmth, and a design-led look that can be tricky to achieve with white, these richer hues can be just what's needed to elevate small kitchens.

But what are the best colors for a small kitchen, exactly? Here, we've rounded up five favorite Sherwin-Williams paint colors among designers for small kitchens to inspire your next project. Although bolder than light neutrals, each of them has a muted, earthy quality that makes them easy to live with.

1. Portsmouth SW 9644

Portsmouth is an in-between, muted color that is versatile enough to work like a neutral paint in kitchens. Although technically a blue-gray color, it has green undertones that offer warmth – an important consideration for kitchen color ideas in compact spaces.

'We chose Sherwin-Williams' Portsmouth for this kitchen because of its quiet depth,' says Hannah Goldberg, founder of Hannah Charlotte Interiors. 'The effect is soft and calm, acting as an anchor that grounds the space without overwhelming the room.'

'Portsmouth works especially well in smaller kitchens because of how it responds to light,' she adds. 'Throughout the day, the tone shifts subtly – brightening as the sun fills the room and becoming more atmospheric as evening sets in. That gentle movement gives the cabinetry dimension and prevents the space from feeling dark or static.'

'The result is a kitchen that feels layered and alive, where color adds richness while still maintaining a sense of calm – a balance that’s especially important in more compact spaces,' says Hannah.

2. Naval SW 6244

Although it can be tempting to stick to light tones in small kitchens, much darker tones can be really effective, adding depth and contrast rather than playing it safe. In this open-plan kitchen and living space, a dark blue paint was used (similar to Sherwin-Williams' Naval). 'It was important that it not feel overly “kitcheny,” but instead read as something more architectural and refined within the larger apartment,' says the New York and Madrid-based designer Allison Garcy.

'The color works beautifully with the flooring and connects effortlessly with the surrounding materials, from the tile and wood tones in the kitchen to the wallpaper in the adjacent foyer,' she adds.

'The cabinetry recedes just enough to allow the other design elements of the apartment to shine, creating a layered, cohesive environment where the kitchen feels seamlessly woven into the overall architecture of the home,' says Allison.

3. Softened Green SW 6177

Light green paints are a wonderful alternative to neutrals, adding much more warmth and softness, while maintaining a light and airy feel that's easy to design around. In small kitchens, they're a great choice if you want to keep things fairly bright without defaulting to white paints.

Here, Softened Green, a calming shade that nods to country kitchen ideas, makes the perfect complement to the white wall tiles and kitchen countertops. 'We wanted the kitchen to feel elegant and comfortable with a happy color that provides a soft contrast to the natural stained wood of the island and flooring,' says the North Carolina designer Kara Cox. 'Softened Green by Sherwin-Williams gave the kitchen an English cottage feel that tied back to the classic Tudor architecture of the home.'

4. Night Owl SW 7061

Night Owl is a muddy, green-toned gray paint that feels aligned with the latest color trends that favor rich and comforting hues. Not too dark but mellow and calm, it brings depth to kitchens and a slightly unexpected look.

For the Washington-based designer Shannon Adamson, who used this rich neutral paint on the kitchen cabinets in this small kitchen, darker tones are an obvious choice for compact spaces. 'A smaller kitchen affords more freedom to go all-in on a bold or dramatic cabinet color,' she says. 'Used in smaller doses, there is less of a chance that the color will become heavy or overbearing.'

'In this kitchen, I used Night Owl, a gorgeous deep evergreen that lends depth and visual weight in the otherwise light space,' says Shannon. 'It's a perfect timeless green that reflects the surrounding landscape, without leaning too yellow or too blue. It also plays beautifully with warm woods.'

5. Cascade Green SW 0066

Cascade Green is another natural-feeling green paint color that lends itself to small kitchens. Part of Sherwin-Williams' Historic Color Collection, it brings moodiness and a slightly aged quality to rooms, making it a good option if you're looking to add character to a compact, modern kitchen.

Here, Cascade Green was used as a kitchen cabinet color, adding warmth and breaking up the palette of neutrals. 'The clients wanted color, but not in a noisy way,' explains the designer Nureed Saeed, founder of design studio Nu Interiors, which is based between California and New Jersey. 'Sherwin-Williams' Cascade Green is a bright and cheerful addition to any kitchen renovation. Not too yellow, not too blue, it holds a beautiful, rich saturation that feels colorful without overpowering the space, making it ideal for a small kitchen.'

Rather than defaulting to white when decorating a small kitchen, consider it an opportunity to go slightly bolder with your colors to add more depth and interest. All of these shades, from soft greens to gray-blues, are muted enough to keep your space feeling calm, and by using them on cabinets along with a warm white paint on the walls, your space will feel balanced and livable.

Remember to sample your paint shades before committing to see how they look in different lighting conditions throughout the day.

Quiet luxury might’ve taken the interiors world by storm as one of the biggest trends of the last few years, but as we shift toward more characterful, colorful, personality-filled interiors, luxury has also gotten louder.

The loud luxury trend is a style that still has the elegance of quiet luxury, but rather than being hushed with neutrals and natural textures, it’s about being bolder with color and pattern.

But which colors suit this emerging trend best? Renowned paint brand Sherwin-Williams has created its own rendition of the look with its recently launched Loud Luxury palette. Its livable, layered scheme is not just made up of bold shades – warm neutrals are mixed in among dark, sophisticated tones that say luxury, loudly.

First came the quiet luxury trend, which focused on hushed tones, rich textures, and understated elegance, but in recent months, loud luxury has become the go-to choice among designers looking to embrace opulence in a more maximalist way. Characterized by confidence, from rich room colors to bold furniture choices, it's a look that balances elegance with a playful boldness.

Emily Kantz, Marketing Manager at Sherwin-Williams, says, 'Loud Luxury reflects a growing desire for self-expression in the home, embracing bold color, contrast, and individuality. As consumers move beyond quiet luxury, this palette encourages personality-forward spaces that feel intentional, confident, and emotionally rich.'

But how do you channel the ever-popular trend through one liveable yet luxurious color palette? Emily says, 'Loud Luxury can be introduced through high-impact moments like accent features, entryways, powder rooms, or statement furniture pieces. Starting small allows homeowners to experiment with bolder hues while maintaining balance throughout the space.'

Alongside Garden Gate, a dark moss green, the palette also includes Rojo Marrón, a deeply luxurious burgundy with notes of brown, Pachyderm, a cool gray hue, and Big Dipper, a not-quite charcoal that feels completely heritage-inspired.

Balanced with contrasting textures like chrome and rich wood (Krylon's Metallic Silver and Minwax's Dark Walnut Stain are featured in the mix), the loud luxury palette is the perfect balance of moody paint colors and luxurious finishes. It's a ready-to-use scheme that's both bold and livable. Picture an elegant dining room enwrapped in Rojo Marrón, paired with a mid-century dining table washed with a dark walnut stain, all brought together with a dramatic Art Deco light fixture.

When decorating with the moody color palette, Emily suggests, 'Pair rich, saturated colors with layered textures, mixed materials, and thoughtful lighting to create depth. While Loud Luxury embraces boldness, grounding elements like natural finishes or subtle neutrals help keep spaces feeling cohesive and livable. It's not about clutter or chaos, but about confidently curated spaces that reflect individuality and a dose of drama.'

Loud Luxury-Inspired Picks

Inspired by the seven hues in Sherwin-Williams' loud luxury palette but not looking to pick up the paintbrush? These decor buys will instantly bring the same sophisticated, playful look into your home.

Sherwin-Williams' loud luxury palette is dark, moody, and irresistibly seductive. Featuring a range of shades from deep burgundies to more livable pale grays, it perfectly balances light and dark and everything in between, and of course, pays homage to the timeless aesthetic we all know and love.

If there’s one thing interior designers agree on right now, it’s that color is back in a big way. After years of safe neutrals, they're leaning into shades that bring energy, warmth, and personality back into a space – which is exactly where Sherwin-Williams’ happiest paint colors come in.

These are paint colors chosen by the brand's color experts, not just for how they look on the wall, but for the energy, optimism, and happy room ideas they bring to a space. And according to Sherwin-Williams' color marketing manager Emily Kantz, these four standout shades from the designer-and-DIYer favorite paint brand will instantly give you a mood-boosting color scheme.

Sherwin-Williams’ Happiest Paint Colors

From joyful pinks to optimistic yellows, these four standout shades not only reflect the color-trends of 2026 but also prove that the right Sherwin-Williams paint color can instantly change how a home looks and feels. And if you aren't looking for a paint project, we've curated some home decor pieces to bring these vibrant colors into your rooms. Here are the top four Emily recommends.

1. Dragon Fruit

Decorating with pink is a well-known way to make a room feel happy. From blush pinks to dusty tones, pink has long been a preferred way to graduate from neutrals, but Emily suggests going even bolder in 2026.

'Dragon Fruit SW 6855 is a bold, high-energy hue that channels passion, creativity, and individuality,' she explains. 'This shade thrives when used with intention, such as on an accent wall in a dining room or entertaining space where homeowners want to spark conversation and make a statement.'

'Paired with minimalist furnishings, clean lines, and expressive artwork, Dragon Fruit creates a space that feels daring, modern, and unmistakably personal.'

2. Pennywise

Warm, orange-reds are seeing a rather surprising comeback in 2026, with terracotta decor becoming one of the chicest ways to bring warmth into a space. Not quite decorating with red, and not quite decorating with orange, Sherwin-Williams' Pennywise SW 6349 is a rich terracotta-inspired orange that feels both energetic and inspiring.

'Its depth gives it an enveloping quality, making it ideal for living rooms or gathering spaces rooted in heritage, storytelling, and connection,' says Emily. 'There’s a warmth to this shade that feels nostalgic yet current, perfect for interiors inspired by cultural traditions or fall-forward palettes.'

'While bold in character, Pennywise SW 6349 remains inviting, adding visual depth and a sense of comfort that encourages people to settle in and stay awhile,' she adds.

3. Aquastone

Sitting between blue and green, this almost-turquoise shade brings instant vibrancy to a room while still feeling balanced and surprisingly livable. Traditionally used as a color pop, December's birth month color is being embraced for bolder applications.

Whether used on a feature trim or wrapped across walls and ceilings, Aquastone SW 9043 delivers freshness, energy, and a strong sense of personality. 'Its a joyful blue-green that brings instant vibrancy to a space,' Emily explains.

'Traditionally, it works beautifully as a focal point in lively rooms like dining rooms or creative spaces, where its energy can really shine,' she says. 'But we’re also seeing growing interest in color drenching, and Aquastone is a fantastic candidate for that approach. Covering walls and even the ceiling, in this bold, happy hue, creates an immersive, expressive environment that feels fresh, confident, and unapologetically fun.'

4. Icy Lemonade

Of course, decorating with yellow is at the top of the list of sunny, happy colors. Icy Lemonade SW 1667 proves that yellow doesn’t have to be deep or golden to feel stylish. This lighter, playful shade offers a fresh way to introduce optimism and warmth without overpowering a space.

'We typically guide homeowners toward richer, deeper yellows because they’re often easier to balance in a space,' Emily suggests. 'But with the resurgence of retro-inspired decor, lighter, more playful yellows are having a well-deserved moment.'

'Icy Lemonade feels fresh, optimistic, and full of personality, making it a standout choice for adding energy without overwhelming a room,' she continues. 'It works beautifully as an accent on kitchen cabinets or doors, but it’s also surprisingly effective on all four walls in smaller spaces like mudrooms or entryways, where it instantly brightens the experience and sets a cheerful tone the moment you walk in.'

Happiness at home doesn’t come from playing it safe, but from choosing color with confidence. As interiors continue to move toward more expressive, personality-led interior design trends in 2026, introducing Sherwin-Williams’ happiest paint colors could be one of the simplest, most powerful ways to boost the mood of your home this year.

When it comes to shaping how your home feels, your chosen paint colors are one of the most, if not the most, important factors. While highly saturated shades feel energizing and muted tones feel more soothing, the right paint colors are key to setting your chosen mood.

This year, one of the most appealing moods for our homes is relaxed, and Sherwin-Williams is a go-to paint brand when it comes to soft paint colors that work across many decorating styles. Below, we've rounded up Sherwin-Williams' most calming colors that will bring a zen-like feel to your home in 2026.

Sherwin-Williams’ Most Calming Paint Colors

From off-whites that add subtle warmth to soft shades of blue and green that instantly make your shoulders drop, these Sherwin-Williams calming paint colors are versatile, soothing, and luckily in keeping with some of this year's biggest color trends too.

1. Upward

Blue paint is well known as a soothing interior color, especially light tones which help to create restful spaces to unwind in, such as bedrooms and bathrooms. One of Sherwin-Williams' most calming colors is Upward, a gentle blue-gray which was used here.

'Upward SW 6239, is a light, airy blue that creates spacious and brighter looks, evoking feelings of calmness and serenity,' explains Emily Kantz, Color Marketing Manager at Sherwin-Williams. 'This uplifting blue breathes air into any space, and I especially love it in a bedroom as a retreat from the world.'

2. Drift of Mist

Although technically a gray paint, Sherwin-Williams' Drift of Mist doesn't feel drab but instead soothing and cozy, making it a great all-rounder neutral paint for many rooms.

'Warms and neutrals are also great for creating a sanctuary-like space that induces rest and relaxation,' explains Emily. 'I recommend Drift of Mist SW 9166 in a bedroom or bathroom to create an in-home spa grounded in other neutrals and earthy tones. It is also a favorite of mine for spaces that lack natural light where you want to really open up the room.'

3. Alabaster

Sherwin-Williams' Alabaster is a popular white paint that's frequently recommended by interior designers. Its undertones ensure it doesn't feel at all stark but welcoming and soft, giving it a calming feel.

'Cool whites like Alabaster SW 7008 can also create a clean and calm feeling,' Emily explains. 'There is a stigma that whites are always bright and sterile when they can be bright without losing the warmth and earthiness. This shade would be great in a bedroom paired with natural accents or very light blues, greens, and pinks.'

4. Shoji White

Another white paint by Sherwin-Williams that's known for its calming qualities is Shoji White. A warming hue, Shoji White adds more depth than a true white but doesn't lean too yellow, working well in many rooms.

'Shoji White SW 7042 is another crowd favorite that brings refuge and respite to any room,' Emily says. 'This warm and creamy white is simply modern yet soft enough to create a haven in a bedroom or bathroom, but also neutral enough to introduce to a kitchen or dining room.'

5. Evergreen Fog

Lastly, if you want to inject more color into your calming scheme, go for Sherwin-Williams' Evergreen Fog, a soft and muted green paint with gray tones that feels instantly restful thanks to its association with the natural world.

'Evergreen Fog SW 9130, our 2022 Color of the Year, is a gentle green with gray undertones that we like to call the perfect green,' Emily tells us. 'It’s not too bold but great for homeowners that want to explore a little bit of color. Color drenching is all the rage and a great way to create a relaxing space that just engulfs you in peace – and this green is a wonderful choice.'

Going into a new year, we are all after calming, relaxing vibes, and color can have such an impact on your mood. Surrounding yourself in soft, cocooning shades, like Sherwin-Williams' most calming colors, will give your rooms a retreat-like feel. And not only are each of these shades relaxing, but they all feel timeless.

Color is one of the most important elements in a bathroom, setting the tone and atmosphere for the entire space. The right shade can transform walls, vanities, and even ceilings, taking the room from bland to beautiful.

When it comes to choosing the perfect color, many of us – including professional designers – rely on trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams. Their high-quality paints and carefully curated edits make it easier to find the perfect bathroom color ideas to suit your desired look.

But which Sherwin-Williams paint colors are best for bathrooms? Here, we ask interior designers for the shades they return to time and time again – and their suggestions embody timeless elegance in abundance.

5 Sherwin-Williams bathroom colors designers always recommend

Choosing the right color for your bathroom is tricky, especially when you're faced with a bunch of swatches with no real reference for what they look like in situ.

Seeing Sherwin-Williams paint colors in real homes is always useful to get a feel for how they pair with other colors and materials. And when it comes to your bathroom ideas, designer recommendations are always a great place to start.

1. Natural Linen

As we're starting to near the end of the year and look to the next, bathroom trends are returning to that sense of tranquility and retreat, and soft, warm neutrals are at the top of most people's design wish lists, with designers also gravitating towards Sherwin-Williams shades that create this more relaxing atmosphere.

'A favorite Sherwin-Williams color for bathrooms is Natural Linen. It introduces warmth and richness, creating a calming and serene spa-like retreat,' says Lisa Shaffer, CEO and creative director of Lisa & Leroy.

In this bathroom, Lisa paired Natural Linen on the walls with deep green bathroom tiles and dark wood furniture. The effect is a space that feels relaxing and characterful yet still bright and inviting. The warm neutral brings in contrast without feeling stark.

2. Snowbound

When it comes to the best neutral paints, Snowbound by Sherwin-Williams always deserves a mention. But it's particularly beautiful in a bathroom, offering a warm white hue that creates an elegant yet totally inviting scheme.

It's a white paint color with a subtle gray undertone to it, which instantly feels much softer and more versatile than blue-toned shades. And this bathroom by Marie Flanigan Interiors is a chic example.

'The name Snowbound is perfect for this stunning, cooler white,' explains Marie. 'Snowbound is a pure palette cleanser, offering a fresh canvas with slightly grey undertones. The undertones give this color lots of versatility as it can be warmed up easily with additional finishes.'

Snowbound brings a sense of warmth to the room that creates a more soothing yet elevated finish. It's a timeless way to embrace a neutral bathroom, and the contrast with the wood tones is subtle yet much-needed in the space.

3. Greek Villa

Certain Sherwin-Williams shades really come to life when illuminated by natural light, creating a sun-soaked neutral bathroom that brightens even the smallest of spaces. In this design, Greek Villa has been paired with blue wall tiles and a wooden vanity for an earthy-inspired scheme.

'My favorite Sherwin-Williams color is Greek Villa. I like this color because it’s a versatile neutral that pairs beautifully with supporting finishes such as countertops, flooring, tile, and wallpaper, allowing them to shine, while also standing gracefully on its own,' says interior designer Jessica Dorling.

But it's not just the way it looks as part of a design that she loves, but the impact it has on the way you use your bathroom. 'Greek Villa is especially ideal when at the bathroom mirror getting ready, as its undertones are soft and soothing, without casting any unwanted color distortions,' she notes.

4. Pure White

Sherwin-Williams' neutrals really get the designer seal of approval when it comes to bathroom colors, and for good reason. Many of them offer a warmer undertone that instantly lifts a bathroom, and Pure White is one of them.

'I love Sherwin-Williams' Pure White in a bathroom. It has enough warmth to complement warm wood tones, but also balances cooler grey-toned tile. This is our go-to white for a clean, but not stark look,' says Julia Lauve, of Workshop Studio.

In this design, Pure White on the walls adds a striking contrast next to the walnut bathroom vanity and wall cabinet. It's the perfect paint choice to balance out the light and dark. It's a simple approach that feels utterly timeless.

The bathroom walls are not the only place this classic white shade works well. Interior designer Laura Jenkins is also a fan of Pure White, but in this design, she used it for the woodwork and the ceiling to emphasise the beautiful wallpaper.

'This bathroom, which is part of a Victorian Bungalow built in 1905, was a complete gut renovation. For this bathroom redesign, we wanted the finishes to feel like they could have been of the time but also of today,' explains Laura.

'In the original room, we found some beadboard which we replicated in the new bathroom and painted Pure White along with all of the trim and ceiling. It becomes the perfect backdrop, letting the marble wallpaper be the focal point.'

5. Decorator's White

Bathroom tiles play a big role in any design, so it's not uncommon for paint colors to be chosen to match or complement them. In this kid's bathroom, a busy tile design necessitated a calmer color palette for a more balanced scheme.

'In this bathroom designed for twin girls, we wanted to create a room that feels ageless but also playful. We had fun with a neutral checkerboard tile for the bathroom, a lively solid surface along with whimsical brass accents,' says Laura.

The right paint color was required to complement yet not detract from the patterned tile moment. 'Sherwin-Williams Decorator's White was the perfect color to provide a cloud-like backdrop that is both colorless and warm. It is a favorite color to use in all kinds of spaces!'

There might be a few bathroom colors going out of style, but these classic Sherwin-Williams shades certainly aren't. Each of these hues is ideal for creating a timeless color scheme, whether you embrace neutral shades or a more saturated palette.

The time has come, Sherwin-Williams has announced its biennial Colormix trend forecast for 2026.

Predicting exciting color trends, the Colormix report features a range of unconventional yet equally chic shades. Sharing further insight into the color report, Emily Kantz, Sherwin-Williams Color Marketing Manager, said 'This forecast goes beyond aesthetic trends to explore the emotional impact and practical beauty of color families that stand the test of time. These palettes are designed to inspire creativity while offering designers, professionals, and homeowners grounded, usable color direction across every space.'

Composed of four color families, the report features 'Frosted tints', 'Sunbaked Hues', 'Restorative darks', and 'Foundational Neutrals.' I spoke with Emily to delve deeper into the color lineup for 2026, uncovering the best pairings and styling advice to ensure your home feels authentic and ahead of the trends.

Sherwin Williams 2026 color trend predictions

From uplifting pastels to sultry, moody tones, Sherwin-Williams Colormix trend forecast features 48 deeply sophisticated shades, each as versatile and timeless as the next.

Proving that pastel rooms aren't going anywhere in 2026, the first color family in the Sherwin-Williams Colormix forecast is 'Frosted Tints'.

Featuring twelve enchanting shades, each color feels refreshingly bright yet timeless, a classic choice for every home, every season. Emily names Modern Lavender (SW 9688) as one of the best purple paints. She says, 'It is an elegant alternative to the ever-popular delicate shades of blue'. To ensure these contemporary pastels feel seamless, consider the best color combinations for the room, says Emily. 'Style Frosted Tints paired with soft whites and brushed metals for a refined, European feel, or pair with cool neutrals for contrast.'

It's not just nostalgic purples that feature in the color family; hazy blues and uplifting greens are predicted to make a much-needed comeback. Refreshingly unique in its zingy undertones, Celery is amongst the contenders.

'Sunbaked Hues' are the second color family in the color report. Featuring the best terracotta paints as well as sumptuous yellows and fiery reds, this range feels refreshingly unique when compared to the lighter pastels, perfect for creating warmth and depth all year round.

Emily says, 'In 2026, we’ll see continued popularity of soft pastels, earthy warm tones, and rich darks, but with more refinement and emotional depth. Shades like Lemon Chiffon (SW 6686), which we have already seen with the buttery yellow trend for 2025, we will continue to see in more of these chalky yellows for 2026.'

Emily says, 'Pennywise (SW 6349) is a warm terracotta that feels grounded and nostalgic at the same time' and is predicted 'to be at the forefront' of next year's trends. Her top tip is to 'Use Sunbaked Hues in textured finishes like limewash or matte to enhance their warmth and depth, which is perfect for accent walls.'

Featuring luxurious burgundies like Rojo Marron (SW 9182) and heritage navies (Tarragon SW 9660 is a standout), Sherwin-Williams includes a 'Restorative Darks' color family in their 2026 trend predictions, perfect for homeowners looking for comfort and luxury combined.

Whether you're channeling the modern heritage style or want your snug or home office to feel more inviting, the twelve rich shades will suit any space, from deep plum to layered green. Emily says, 'Restorative Darks work beautifully in layered, tonal designs with plush textures like velvet or leather to create grounding, cocoon-like spaces.'

Despite their traditional parallels, each shade has a unique tonality that draws upon current trends and more timeless color palettes. Take Plum Brown (SW 6272), for example, it's a shade that falls somewhere between chocolate brown (the ever-popular shade of 2025) and a deep eggplant-like purple.

Proving that decorating with neutrals will always be timeless, the last color family included in Sherwin-Williams' Colormix 2026 predictions is 'Foundational Neutrals'.

Whether you're using Sanderling (SW 7513) on a wall alongside a crisp white on molding, or a sophisticated gray like Pavestone (SW 7642) to adorn your kitchen cabinetry, these enduring shades feel transitional yet layered. Emily says, 'I love mixing warm and cool tones together for a style that feels balanced and interesting, leaning into different undertones, ranging from silvery blues and warm chestnuts to muted green and stony grays.'

One-dimensional whites will be dying out in 2026, Emily says, 'While buttery yellow is evolving and still going strong into 2026, overly saturated primaries and flat, overly crisp, stark whites that feel too cold and sterile. We are seeing consumers moving away from bold one-note colors in favor of softer, nuanced shades with tactile finishes that offer more versatility and emotional resonance in their spaces.'

Similar to 2025's Colors of the Year, Sherwin-Williams' round-up of shades proves the timelessness of brilliance and boldness. Featuring a range of colors from the palest pastels to the deepest darks, the 2026 Colormix Trend Forecast is versatile, original, and leaves me feeling very excited for 2026 and all it has to offer.

The Benjamin Moore color chart is huge. Gigantic. Overwhelmingly massive. And when it comes to their huge range of neutrals, it can be tricky to know which one is going to look best in your home.

But there are two particular Benjamin Moore best sellers I see come up time and time again, Swiss Coffee and White Dove. On the surface, they're two off-white paints, with not much difference between them. On paper, they should be interchangeable. But on the wall, or indeed the woodwork, it's a very different story. There's a right time, and also very much a wrong time, for them both.

'Whites aren’t whites,' says the interior designer Tamsin Johnson. 'Whites are beiges, grays, taupes, blues, even. I don’t seek the austere whites, I always look for the friendlier whites.' Which, handily, includes both of these two shades.

This comparison of Swiss Coffee and White Dove goes beyond being just a direct contrast, though. It's full of advice you can take whenever you're picking from one of the many, many white paints. When to go warm and when to go brilliant are two very different times. And here's how you'll know which paint is called for, when.

Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee vs Benjamin Moores' White Dove

Take a look at the living room, above, painted in Swiss Coffee, designed by Caitlin Flemming. Now compare that to the shelves painted in White Dove at the top of the page. Totally different, right? And compare the swatches directly side by side. The differences might seem subtle, but they are definitely there, and you can really see how much warmer Swiss Coffee leans than White Dove.

Swiss Coffee is slightly more creamy, while White Dove is just slightly more white, more brilliant.

'White Dove OC-17 is a classic off-white that has both gray and yellow undertones, introducing the slightest wink of warmth to a clean aesthetic,' says Helen Moore, director at Benjamin Moore. 'This hue creates a more contemporary feel compared to Swiss Coffee OC-45, which has slightly warmer undertones than White Dove, so is a popular choice for people looking to create a cozy environment.'

Yes, it's a subtle difference, which is why so many homeowners find themselves choosing between Swiss Coffee and White Dove, but as with all decor choices, it's the detail that matters. So let's look at when to use one over the other.

When to choose White Dove

1. For a clean Scandi aesthetic

Because White Dove is crisper than Swiss Coffee, Helen Shaw thinks it's ideal for contemporary spaces that lend themselves to that clean, Scandi style.

'White Dove is especially suited to modern spaces with a lot of natural light and open concept floor plans,' she says. Because it is slightly on the cooler side, definitely more so than Swiss Coffee, White Dove does look wonderful in a sun-drenched room. Think minimalist furniture, with lots of layers of textures, and that clean white paint as the perfect backdrop.

2. Layered with other whites on woodwork and cabinetry

A favorite trick of designers is to use one white on the walls and another on the woodwork or cabinetry, as seen in this white kitchen, designed by Lauren Robbins. From doing this myself, I can tell you, the eye doesn't always notice it at first, but it leads to an interesting and layered scheme.

White Dove is ideal for these details. 'It is a popular pick for the trim, ceiling, and interior doors of a whole home as it sits well against such a wide range of colors and brings a freshness without feeling stark,' Helen says.

'I love to use White Dove on trims,' agrees the designer Enass Mahmoud of Studio Enass. 'It gives a fresher, cleaner look and helps the details to really stand out. I also prefer it generally in smaller doses – so, on the trim is perfect – because I worry it can be clinical if used on a large scale.'

'I always like to use a fresh white on the trim and doors and architraves,' agrees Portia Fox, of which White Dove is one. 'As an accent, it lifts the room, but on a whole wall it might feel a little too cool.'

3. In a south facing room

If you do intend to go big on White Dove, keep it to south-facing rooms where it can be enhanced by the sense of natural light, which will seem to dance off it.

'White Dove sparkles when it has plenty of natural light,' says Enass. 'It needs that to come alive, so use it in a south-facing space, for sure.'

'I like brilliant whites in south-facing rooms, because they tend to have a slight gray undertone,' agrees the interior designer Margot Tsim, describing White Dove to a tee. 'The gray tones are highlighted by the warmth of the sunshine, whereas if you're low on light, they'd tend to read cold, and on gray days in a north-facing room, they'd be terrible.'

When to choose Swiss Coffee

1. In north-facing rooms

'As a slightly darker white, Swiss Coffee works well in north-facing rooms, introducing warmth even in low light, without veering too yellow,' Helen says.

'Because Swiss Coffee isn't a brilliant white, it works well to warm up slightly darker, north-facing rooms and give them a quick refresh,' adds Enass.

Margot agrees. 'You definitely want a white with a yellow undertone for a north-facing space, she says. 'I would stay away from gray and blue fabrics, and go for wamer, rusty and earthy palettes like ochre.'

'And pair it with a walnut timber with a warmer tone, as that mid-century vibe, that will work quite well here. Lighting is important, bring in warmth, maybe something with a fabric lampshade that could give you softness through linen, rather than a hard gleam of glass, the more texture the better.'

2. To soften a room

Designers often say that pink is the most flattering color, as it makes everyone look good, no matter their skin tone. It's warm and soft and cocooning. But if pink is too, well, pink for you, then Swiss Coffee may well be the right white instead.

'Swiss Coffee is a bit softer on the skin than other whites, its pigments bring the best out of you,' says Enass. 'It's a great one to color wash with for that reason I'd take it up and over the ceiling as a living room color, for a space you feel really flattered to be in.'

'Swiss Coffee is a particularly flattering bathroom color, as it brings a sense of softness to the space,' Helen says. 'It contrasts with the hard elements such as tiles, mirrors, and fixtures.'

3. For a vintage feel

Whereas White Dove evokes a cooler, Scandi vibe, the softness of Swiss Coffee is more familiar, a little easier on the eye, helping to create a sense of the room almost being in soft focus.

'Because Swiss Coffee is slightly darker, it works particularly well for those people with more traditional home designs,' Helen says, a case in point being the kitchen, above, with Swiss Coffee on the walls and ceiling.

Designer Tamsin Johnson loves to use white paint, but always seeks the warmth of shades like Swiss Coffee to make her decorating approach work. She explains, 'The main risk in using white paint is that sometimes it makes it harder to host the moodier antique pieces I love. Some darker pieces can seem too weighty and bear too much gravity in a white space and lose their voice in the interior dialogue, so I have to be careful with those.' She leans warmer instead, using colors like Swiss Coffee as backdrops.

So in short, White Dove is great for bright rooms and fresh aesthetics, while Swiss Coffee is the preferred paint for darker rooms and a more cozy feel. Swiss Coffee has that slightly more yellow undertone, which you can bring out more depending on what you pair it with; it's a bit more nuanced than White Dove. White Dove is closer to a pure, brilliant white, far less creamy than Swiss Coffee, so better suited to light-filled spaces that can handle its coolness.

As always, I recommend ordering swatches, even if you are set on one over the other. All neutral paints are such chameleon shades and can shift dramatically depending on the light and orientation of the room, plus the other tones in the space.

Sherwin-Williams has announced its color of the month for June. Icy Lemonade SW 1667 is a yellow shade, with a name that befits its cool, zesty personality. Despite its zing and vigor, this pastel yellow is tempered by a barely-there green undertone that gives it a surprisingly mellow, slightly nostalgic quality.

We take a closer look at Icy Lemonade SW 1667 – exploring its undertones, its behavior in different types of light, and how to make it work in the home. Whether you’re searching for the best yellow paint or simply exploring new ways of decorating with yellow, this color may offer more versatility than you might first have expected.

What color is Icy Lemonade?

Part of Sherwin-Williams’ yellow family, Icy Lemonade is described as ‘a cold glass of sunshine on a summer day’. It’s a light, pastel yellow that’s softened by a cool green undertone – subtle, but present enough to shift the hue away from anything overly sugary or sunny. This touch of coolness gives the color an unexpected balance, making it feel more grounded than saccharine.

‘It’s a soft yet eclectic pastel yellow,' Sherwin-Williams explains, and that complexity is what gives the shade its strength. In rooms with good lighting, it radiates a gentle warmth. But it also holds its own against bright whites and soft neutrals, creating a breezy, optimistic palette.

When paired with natural textures or vintage-inspired furnishings, Icy Lemonade takes on a mid-century ease. But it can just as easily feel fresh and contemporary when used in clean, minimalist spaces. That balance between charm and calm is what makes it stand out within the broader spectrum of yellow paint.

Where does Icy Lemonade work best?

Icy Lemonade shines in spaces that receive plenty of natural light. Mid-century homes, sun-filled apartments, or interiors that favor open layouts and light finishes are all good candidates for this shade. The color is especially well suited to homes in warmer regions where daylight is plentiful.

‘Known for boosting overall mood, yellow paint colors carry a subtle tonality that prioritizes productivity,’ notes Sherwin-Williams. That makes this shade a natural choice not just for residential interiors, but also for welcoming commercial settings or hybrid live-work spaces. It’s the kind of color that encourages creativity and energy without feeling overstimulating.

Designers looking to tap into the optimism of mid-century modern design will find a natural ally in this paint. ‘Capture the essence of mid-century modern design with this optimistic butter yellow,’ Sherwin-Williams suggests – a reminder that sometimes, a bit of color can do more than just dress a wall; it can shift the emotional tone of an entire space.

While yellow can sometimes dominate a room, Icy Lemonade brings enough softness to play well with a variety of functions and layouts. It works nicely in kitchens and dining rooms – spaces that benefit from a feeling of light and warmth - but it also lends itself well to creative or transitional zones like home offices, entryways, or powder rooms.

Because of its delicate green undertone, it has a filtered, almost sun-faded look that gives it versatility across design styles. In rooms where you want a pop of color that still feels gentle and unforced, this shade offers a considered alternative to beige or cream.

Where to avoid using Icy Lemonade

As with so many paint colors and their undertones, it’s important to sample this shade before fully committing. Its soft, green undertone can behave unpredictably in certain lighting conditions. In north-facing rooms or limited daylight, the yellow may lose its warmth and start to feel particularly jolting. It might even take on a faintly greenish cast, especially when paired with cool-toned fixtures or blue-based whites.

This might be a dealbreaker if you’re painting a poorly lit entryway, basement, or shaded room. If you’re set on using yellow paint in a low-light room but want to avoid any unexpected coolness, you might consider a similar shade with a warmer base or more golden undertones. Icy Lemonade, like any pastel, needs the right light to fully come to life.

Bring this color into your home in smaller accents

For those seeking something deeper or more vibrant, Sherwin-Williams offers several alternatives that lean further along the spectrum. Auric SW 6692 and Sunflower SW 6678 lean warmer and more golden, with richer depth, while Daisy SW 6910 and Decisive Yellow SW 6902 bring a powerful citrus punch.

Repose Gray by Sherwin-Williams and Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore are two of the most popular neutral shades. They are best sellers from both brands and loved by designers and homeowners alike. But what exactly sets them apart, and how do you know which is right for your space?

When it comes to choosing the best neutral paint, it’s rarely a one-size-fits-all scenario. We look at the characteristics of both these easy-going hues, from how they behave in different rooms to what kinds of interiors they best suit.

Repose Gray and Revere Pewter are both staples in conversations amongst homeowners and interior designers about the best neutrals, and for good reason. They’re incredibly versatile, and both have a strong reputation.

But while they might fall under the same general color family, their undertones and behavior in natural light vary greatly. And as with any classic color debate, it often comes down to personal preference, or simply the question of Sherwin-Williams vs Benjamin Moore and what each of these paint greats has to offer.

Repose Gray vs Revere Pewter: What’s the difference?

Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter HC-172 is a warm, earthy 'greige', a fusion of a relaxed, cool gray paint and a neutral. It's worth considering both parents of this hybridization to understand how it performs in certain contexts, and crucially, its interplay with light.

Its charm lies in its ability to feel timeless, calm, and receding without feeling cold. ‘Revere Pewter is one of our most popular colors and has topped the Benjamin Moore best sellers list for years,' says Arianna Barone, Color Marketing Manager at Benjamin Moore. ‘With unrivaled versatility, it effortlessly bridges warm and cool as a beautiful neutral hue. It is a true chameleon color that can work in any space and with any design style.'

Revere Pewter's has a smidgen of a chilly gray undertone, ensuring it never feels too toasty, but instead it keeps it feeling restrained and hushed. If you are developing a neutral scheme and want to find a color that whispers, rather than shouts, Revere Pewter will deliver on the desired effect.

Perfectly balanced with its tawny, earthier neutral base, so it works beautifully in rooms that are in need of softening.

Ideally suited to north-facing rooms, which are naturally deprived of light, and what light they do receive is often cold and harsh.‘I personally love to use it in common spaces like living rooms, kitchens, and dining rooms,’ adds Ariana, ‘for a laidback, welcoming wall color. ’

Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray SW 7015, by contrast, leans much cooler. Whereas Revere Pewter appears more of a beige with gray undertones, Repose Gray, as befits its name, is much more of a gray with a smidgen of beige undertone.

In short: Repose Gray has the slightest hint of taupe and a whisper of warmth, but it still reads as a true gray in most lights.

While not ice cold, it does lend a more modern look than the softer Revere Pewter, which is much more muted and delicate. In rooms that have minimal natural light levels, Repose Gray can appear cooler – and even a little drab if paired with the wrong undertones elsewhere in the room. It shines best in well-lit spaces where its neutral clarity can fully come through.

Which is better for your home?

The truth is, both of these shades are highly dependable neutrals, but your choice will depend on the light, style, and purpose of the space you’re decorating.

If the room you're working with feels stark or jarring or doesn’t get much natural light, Revere Pewter would be the better choice. Its warmth will help prevent the space from feeling sullen or flat. It also complements traditional and transitional interiors particularly well.

If your room is not particularly deprived of daylight or you lean toward a more contemporary, even minimalistic aesthetic, Repose Gray would be perfectly suited for a polished, sleek look. It has a subtle sophistication and crispness that pairs beautifully with clean lines and minimal palettes. Of course, if you’re drawn to either of these, it’s also worth considering similar alternatives.

Fans of Revere Pewter may want to try Little Greene’s Portland Stone for a comparable warm greige paint, which many of the top interior designers swear by also. If you're eyeing Repose Gray, you might consider Farrow and Ball Dropcloth or Sherwin-Williams’ Agreeable Gray as close cousins.

Introduce these shades into your home in smaller accents

While decorating with bold color can be a joyful way to express personality, there’s something enduring about a well-chosen neutral. And even the most kaleidoscopic of homes often call for the pared-back punctuation of neutral zones somewhere.

If you’re painting large surfaces or looking to create flow through your space, the nuances between Repose Gray and Revere Pewter will become more noticeable – and more important. Whether you opt for the warmth of Revere Pewter or the clarity of Repose Gray, both are trusted choices that are sure to stand the test of time.

Choosing a paint color can feel like one of the most deceptively nuanced parts of home design. Even subtle variations in tone can have a dramatic impact depending on the direction of a room’s light, the materials it’s paired with, or even the time of day. Sea Salt by Sherwin-Williams is a prime example of this.

While often described as a green paint, its composition reveals far more complexity – a muted blend of green, blue, and gray that reacts sensitively to its environment.

Here, we take a closer look at what makes Sea Salt one of Sherwin-Williams' most popular paints. If you’re currently looking for inspiration, Sea Salt – with its misty, muted character – might catch your attention, especially when decorating with green in soft, serene palettes.

We spoke to Emily Kantz, Color Marketing Manager at Sherwin-Williams, to understand the full scope of how Sea Salt can be used in today’s interiors; what it offers, where it performs well, and where it may not.

Understanding Sea Salt’s color category

According to Emily, 'Sea Salt is a highly versatile color that technically falls within the green family, but its soft blue undertone gives it a serene, adaptable quality that works well in a wide range of spaces'. That blue note, combined with a subtle gray base, makes the color appear cooler and less saturated than many greens.

Depending on the light, it can read as bluish in north-facing rooms or more distinctly green in sunnier environments. This ability to shift gently between tones is part of what gives the color its broad appeal, though it does require thoughtful pairing to ensure it behaves as expected.

What aesthetic does Sea Salt work with best and why?

Sea Salt’s soft tone lends itself particularly well to light, natural interiors. As befits its name, it's a favorite in both farmhouse and coastal style homes, thanks to its ability to introduce a gentle wash of color without overwhelming the space. 'It's soft hue pairs effortlessly with the warm wood tones and neutral finishes commonly found in these styles, creating a balanced and inviting atmosphere,' explains Emily.

'In coastal settings, it draws inspiration from sea glass, while in farmhouse style spaces, Sea Salt provides a nice contrast between rustic wood and crisp whites.' It’s also well-suited to Scandinavian-inspired interiors. In these minimalist settings, Sea Salt’s muted presence complements light woods, clean lines, and bright whites.

According to Emily, the shade adds a subtle touch of nature-inspired color while preserving an uncluttered vibe. In all cases, the key to Sea Salt’s success seems to lie in its restraint. It’s a color that works best when the surrounding palette leans quiet and organic, relaxed rather than assertive.

Where does Sea Salt work best?

Sea Salt often finds a natural home in bedrooms and bathrooms, spaces where the goal is rest. Sea Salt’s soft blend of green, blue, and gray achieves a 'soft, spa-like quality, creating a soothing, retreat-like atmosphere. Its tranquil tones evoke a sense of calm, making it ideal for spaces for relaxation and self-care', especially when balanced with natural stone, linens, and wood finishes to avoid appearing overly cool or clinical.

The same is true in the bedroom, when styled carefully, Sea Salt promotes a restful environment and complements a range of bedding colors and textures, from layered whites to soft linens and pale woods.

The shade also suits kitchens, particularly those styled with white cabinetry or light countertops. Emily explains that 'Sea Salt brings a gentle pop of color without overwhelming the space', maintaining a bright and welcoming feel. Its softness allows it to behave more like a neutral in these settings, especially when paired with the right finishes.

Where to avoid using Sea Salt

Despite its versatility, Sea Salt may not be universally adaptable. Because of its icy undertones, it may not perform well in spaces dominated by very warm colors or rich hues, particularly red-toned woods, terracotta, or golden shades. In this context, Sea Salt’s cooler character can feel rather dramatically at odds with the overall tone.

In darker rooms with limited natural light, its cool blue-gray undertones will likely dominate, which can feel chilly, steely, and unwelcoming. Understanding this limitation is important when considering Sea Salt for larger-scale use or in homes with a predominantly warm material palette, or light-deprived spaces like north-facing rooms or those which rely on artificial light.

What colors to pair with Sea Salt?

One of Sea Salt’s strengths is its compatibility with a wide range of other shades, so long as they’re chosen with intention. It pairs well with clean white paints, such as Pure White SW 7005, which offers crispness and contrast, and with softer, warmer off white paints like Dover White SW 6385 for a more blended, tonal feel. Emily also recommends pairing it with subtle neutral paints, such as Drift of Mist SW 9166, which can create a layered, serene backdrop.

For those looking to bring in more contrast, Sea Salt works surprisingly well with deeper, moodier hues. Colors like Cityscape SW 7067, a less nuanced graphite gray, or Charcoal Blue SW 2739, a deep navy, add dimension and balance without overshadowing Sea Salt’s subtle presence.

Homburg Gray SW 7622, a sophisticated green-gray, offers a more grounded contrast that still aligns tonally with Sea Salt’s palette. These color combinations enable designers and homeowners to create a space that feels both calm and considered, whether they’re building a soft, tonal scheme or one with a little more visual weight.

If you aren't in the market for a total room color change, the soft green of Sea Salt is a lovely color to bring in in smaller accents, especially as we go into the summer months.

Sea Salt by Sherwin-Williams is a gentle, cool-toned green that behaves almost like a chameleon, shifting slightly depending on light and materials. Its appeal lies in its softness and flexibility, though those same traits require careful planning to get right.

It's undeniably a wonderfully calming color, and performs best in peaceful, light-filled rooms, particularly those in coastal, farmhouse, or Scandinavian-inspired homes. If you dream of injecting the Nancy Myers aesthetic in your home, then this is certainly a shade worth considering.
