Sherwin-Williams Announces 48 Colors For Their 2025 Colormix Forecast

Sherwin-Williams has announced its 2025 Colormix Forecast with four paint palettes that are delving into a "deeper connection between the colors we love and the lives we lead."

The first palette, Chrysalis, is a collection of soft neutrals intended to "capture the essence of peaceful, intentional living and transformative future-thinking in a sanctuary of colors inspired by wood tones, sifting sands, and freshly turned earth," according to a company press release.

The second, Paradox, is a "palette of dopamine-drenched colors that defy expectations: electric brights, grounding neutrals, and candy-coated accents."

The Wellspring palette includes "mystical blues, meditative midtones, and compelling chromas that connect us to the land, to creating things by hand, and to a richly personal epic narrative."

Finally, Kindred emphasizes a feeling of "belonging with a collection of warm neutrals, sheltering deeps, and warmhearted colors that nurture and nourish."

As you've probably gathered, designers and color mixologists put a whole lot more thought into paint selections beyond whether they're warm, cool, white, or bright. On July 31, Sherwin-Williams also debuted a new podcast, Colormixology, that will talk about the company's process of color forecasting and other design topics.

“The strength of our color forecasting allows us to anticipate the trends of tomorrow and shape a more vibrant, harmonious, and responsive world—a topic I’m excited to discuss in the first episode of our new podcast," said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing. You can listen to the monthly podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, and Amazon Music, and decide which soul-soothing color is your vibe.
