Paint trends are very gradual, but HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams thinks the world is finally entering a new era. Their new 2025 Color Collection of the Year “Naturally Refined” indicates that the long decade of gray minimalism is coming to a close, and a new reign of warm, soft colors is beginning. From the earthy terracotta of Spiced Cider to the gentle green of their 2025 Color of the Year Quietude, these 10 hues balance light yellows, sage greens, and creamy whites with browns and earthy blues to create some beautiful, unexpected color combinations. “Naturally Refined is all about having those quiet moments in your home,” says Ashley Banbury, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams color marketing manager. Its versatility makes it the perfect palette for mixing and matching without overwhelming the senses. Each shade not only pairs well with the others in the collection but can be used on the cabinetry, ceilings, floor, furniture, or lights.

Rocky River the deep green shade featured on the ceiling and doors above, has just enough moodiness to balance out the lighter neutrals of the collection. It’s ideal for anyone who prefers a darker but serene setting. If you’re itching to try out color-drenching, this gentle blue is the perfect place to start. Pair it with light wood accents and some lighter greens and yellows for a cozy, happy nook.
