Paint Color Trends 2024: Color Forecast from Top Trendsetters

As much as colorists and interior designers love the 2023 paint color trends, they are ready to embrace what the new season brings. At some level, the latest forecast feels like the continuation of the 2023 trendy color palette. It upgrades the known color collections through brighter and more adventurous shades. 

The leading color trendsetters have already revealed their 2024 forecast. Thus, we can underline the steady relevance of timeless neutrals, yet this season surprises us with warm and blush neutral shades. Greens and especially blues become trendier. Unexpectedly deep and surprisingly dark tones also join trends. Moreover, last season’s favorite, purple, still holds one of the leading positions. Bright reds, pinks, yellows, and oranges are also invited. Not least, we cannot help but admire the paint brands’ decision to preserve the warm and comfy earthy shades this season as well. 

Unsurprisingly, the trending paint color palette is impressively wide. Homeowners and designers can choose any color to tell their story, from unconditionally lovely pastels to radiant pinks. “There are no rules. It is really about how one feels on any given day and what resonates at the moment,” states Laurie Pressman, Pantone Color Institute vice president. 

Let’s find out what colors will dominate interior design in 2024. We included the colors of the year we know so far and trending paint colors from renowned manufacturers like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Behr, and Dulux. And the list doesn’t end here.
