Top Colors for 2023 Blog

Now that you’ve bought a home it is time to design it in a way that truly makes it your own space. A simple way to make a huge impact in your home’s décor is to change the wall color. Paint color is more than a backdrop for your wall art, or favorite reading nook. It is a key aesthetic of your home that can both express your lifestyle and can affect your mood and energy levels. After many years of pale and soothing colors, the trend for 2023 has been to bring in bolder and more dramatic shades. 

Bold and Transformative

Ready to bring color back into your home? Check out these hot hues:

• Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, provides a perfect change of pace and promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration.
• Benjamin Moore’s Raspberry Blush is a similarly charismatic coral hue that can be used to add a lively pop of color to any space.
• Glidden’s choice of bluish-green Vining Ivy as its 2023 Color of the Year is a versatile hue to create an on-trend look in any room.

Warm and Grounding

Want something outside of traditional neutrals without being too bold? Soft, earthy, subtle pink hues — such as Sherwin Williams’ Redend Point or and Dunn Edwards’ Terra Rosa — can add rich, sophisticated color to the home.

Valspar also included colors such as Southern Road and Desert Carnation in its 2023 Colors of the Year palette, which are in line with this year’s red-based selections.

Neutral Reset

Sometimes nothing beats a classic neutral, which Behr opted for with its 2023 Color of the Year. Blank Canvas is a rich neutral to help renew every space in the home, from entryways to living rooms to bedrooms.

Neutral colors such as Ivory Brown, Cozy White and Villa Grey are included in Valspar’s 2023 Colors of the Year palette for a soft, approachable look.

This range of colors — and the versatility it provides — offers multiple sources of inspiration for reinventing and reconnecting with your home in the year ahead.

Today’s color trends offer so many options that allow people to step outside of their beige or white comfort zone. Since open floor plans have become a popular choice in today’s home design an easy way to play with color is to use a single color throughout the space. Incorporating different tones in separate spaces, or adding unexpected accents, will allow you to create visual zones for different areas of the layout. Choose a color palette that best expresses your personality and preferred home design and your home will be transformed into something captivating.
