2023 Colors of the Year

Each fall, paint companies and interior design experts select their choices for Color of the Year, and these selections become a prediction of the colors that will influence home décor trends in the coming year. As someone who loves design and color, I eagerly await these announcements. More than just looking at pretty colors, I try to determine what these colors have in common. And more so, what do these colors say about today … and tomorrow?

While the selections for 2022 centered around earthy shades of green, 2023 is all about bold, rich colors, most of them in varying shades of pinkish-red. Think rosé, cranberries, and salsa!

In late September, Sherwin-Williams selected Redend Point SW 9081, which, to me, felt like a natural continuation of the earthy tones so popular in current interior design trends. A blend of beige and blush, Redend Point has pink undertones, great for adding warmth to a room.
