The 2025 Color Capsule of the Year from Sherwin-Williams marks a groundbreaking change in the world of paint colors. Fans of Sherwin-Williams and previous Colors of the Year, such as Upward in 2024, or Redend Point in 2023, will notice there are nine colors being highlighted in 2025 instead of the classic, single shade. The change comes from Sherwin-Williams celebrating 15 years of paint color innovation. This palette––and this new take on Color of the Year for 2025––will help both professionals and homeowners to create spaces that inspire and delight. 

Introducing Sherwin-Williams Color Capsule of the Year

Sherwin-Williams Color Capsule of the Year includes the following colors: 

Grounded SW 6089

This rich, early brown anchors spaces with warmth. It is ideal for living rooms or libraries. We recommend pairing it with lighter neutrals for contrast. In commercial spaces, we recommend using Grounded to create a welcoming atmosphere that is both cozy and professional. 

Chartreuse SW 0073

This unique color is a mix of vibrant yellow and green. While it can initially seem a difficult color to incorporate, It injects energy and playfulness into spaces such as kitchen and children’s rooms. The paint color also works well as an accent wall color! Museums, design studios, and cafes also love this color and use it to inspire innovation in their areas. 

Rain Cloud SW 9639

For a calm, sophisticated feel, opt for Rain Cloud. The deep gray-blue offers a calming effect. You can use this in your home or business to promote focus or create a relaxing space. In homes, you could use this color in bedrooms or dens. Commercially, it could be a great choice for conference rooms or executive offices. 

Clove SW 9605

This bold, nearly black brown adds depth and drama to spaces. Use it in entryways or accent walls at home for a refined look. In commercial environments like luxury restaurants or high-end boutiques, Clove creates a sleek, elegant statement.

Mauve Finery SW 6282

This muted mauve introduces a touch of botanical charm. At home, it’s a soothing choice for nurseries, bedrooms, or cozy nooks. In business spaces like salons or boutique shops, Mauve Finery adds a sense of sophistication and understated beauty.

Bosc Pear SW 6390

Bosc Pear is a more elegant and luxurious color of Sherwin-Williams’s Color Capsule. The warmth and sophistication makes it great for dining rooms, upscale retail spaces, or hospitality settings. We truly believe Bosc Pear is the perfect fit if you’re looking for something upscale while retaining a welcoming atmosphere.

Malabar SW 9110

Malabar SW 9110 creates a calm and inviting feel. At home, it’s great for cozy living rooms or bedrooms when paired with other warm colors. In places like spas or therapy offices, it adds a peaceful and welcoming touch for clients.

White Snow SW 9541

This bright white can make any space airy, making it great for smaller rooms you’d like to make feel bigger. It can also be used on trim or ceilings to highlight architectural detail. The color brings a clean, minimalist feeling to a room, perfect for some offices or specific healthcare spaces. 

Sunbleached SW 9585

Sunbleached in a soft neutral that works beautifully in bedrooms or bathrooms. The color is extremely adaptable with undertones that can match colors around it. If your office space has darker woods, Sunbleached would be a perfect choice for a paint color. 

Color Trends Seen in Color Capsule of the Year

Our painters can’t get enough of  this palette! The collection draws heavily on nostalgia and the desire for authentic, grounding environments. Organic, timeless tones are blended seamlessly with modern styles in this collection. We think it makes the perfect choice for homes, productive offices, or standout commercial spaces.
