If you're ready to give your walls a refresh, we recommend turning to some of the shades that color experts believe will be big next year. To help you get inspired, we're sharing all of the 2024 colors of the year that have been announced so far.
Behr: Cracked Pepper
The versatile soft black hue acts as a neutral, creating a grounding shade that trends away from classic white-and-cream colors.
"The moment now is about optimism, awakening the senses, and elevating how you feel—and a room with a soft black really checks the box on all of those things," says Erika Woelfel, vice president of color and creative services at Behr Paint. Cracked Pepper works with everything from dusty pastels and metallic accents to earthy shades and bold patterns and textures.
Upward
The lauded paint brand chose Upward SW 6239—a blissful blue hue inspired by coastal aesthetics—as its color of the year.
"We knew lighter tones were going to be important in 2024 and 2025 and we wanted to forecast the shift from earthy neutrals to lighter expressions and a light blue like Upward SW 6239 told that story very well," says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams. The hue complements a variety of home design styles and looks great with antiques, modern furniture, transitional pieces, and even boho interiors, Wadden says.
Glidden: Limitless
–Limitless is a honey beige hue that has the power of a primary color with the essence of a neutral. “We are entering a new era of explosive creativity and change. Consumers are using color in even more unconventional ways than ever before and they need a palette that offers versatility to work with both new and existing decor,” says Ashley McCollum, PPG’s color expert for the Glidden brand. It's the perfect way to bring color into your space without moving too far away from the neutrals many homeowners love.
Skipping Stones
Dunn-Edwards' color of the year is Skipping Stones, a calming blue hue with hints of green and gray. The serene shade has the versatility of a neutral, meaning you can use it to cover all four walls in a bedroom or bathroom, or to add a pop of color to your front door or ceiling.
