Upward, Sherwin-Williams

Sherwin-Williams 2024 selection is the aptly named Upward, a blissful pale blue shade. If you're looking for a breath of crisp, fresh air in paint color form — with all it's renewing, calming and brightening effects — this is it.

How You Can Use It

Paint a bathroom vanity or cabinet this icy hue for a quick makeover with major impact. For a larger-scale update, try it on the walls of an everyday space, like a living room or entryway, for a mood boost every time you come home.

Cracked Pepper, Behr

This softened black with modern appeal is Behr's pick for 2024. Since it's sleek but not stark, Cracked Pepper can give a room added edge and coziness at the same time.

How You Can Use It

For a chic and daring upgrade, paint it on the walls (and even the ceiling) to envelope a living space in style. If you're looking for a less drastic change, try it on trim and window grilles for a modern look in any room.

Limitless, Glidden

Glidden's 2024 Color of the Year, Limitless, is akin to a field of wheat on a sunny day. This warm, honey-hued beige leans in to the trend of warm neutrals.

How You Can Use It

This appropriately named paint color is extremely versatile. It can be used on walls, ceilings, exteriors and more — all while blending with existing colors and decor, in true neutral fashion. What sets Limitless apart from your basic beige? It can give any space a soft, sunlit glimmer.

Thermal, C2 Paint

C2's selection for this year, Thermal, is a sky blue that, like nature itself, enlivens and calms simultaneously.

How You Can Use It

Like a clear sky, this cool, pale blue would coordinate effortlessly with a myriad of other colors, which makes it easy to mix in with your existing decor. Need proof? Just look out your window!

Sashay Sand, Sherwin-Williams' 2024 Color Anthology

Sherwin-Williams is taking a new approach to color forecasting this year, releasing its 2024 Colormix Anthology: Volume 1, comprised of 48 stunning shades grouped by color family in addition to their Color of the Year. Sashay Sand, part of their collection of reds and purples, shows that the pinky-beige of years past — like 2023 Color of the Year Redend Point — is here to stay.

How You Can Use It

Try this blushing neutral anywhere you would typically use white. Give plain walls a touch of warmth, or paint it on the ceiling to cast a rose-tinted glow.

Billiard Green, Sherwin-Williams' 2024 Color Anthology

Sherwin-Williams' 2024 collection of blues and greens features the striking verdant hue, Billiard Green. This cool, forest-inspired shade is rich and organic with timeless appeal. (It's part of the brand's historical collection as well.)

How You Can Use It

Go green in an outside-to-inside space like a mudroom, foyer or entryway. This rich emerald will provide continuity with natural surroundings while creating a dazzling entrance to your home.

Tricorn Black, Sherwin-Williams' 2024 Color Anthology

A longtime favorite of designers and homeowners alike, Tricorn Black made Sherwin-Williams' list of deep dark paints for 2024.

How You Can Use It

This true black is a can't-go-wrong choice to add edgy drama to a home's interior or exterior spaces. Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa, stars of The Flipping El Moussas, recently used this inky shade to paint the exterior brick on their California home.

Drift of Mist, Sherwin-Williams' 2024 Color Anthology

The last collection of Sherwin-Williams' 2024 color forecast is a palette of delicate tints. Soft, neutral shades, like Drift of Mist (seen here on the walls), help you disengage from busyness and create an ultra-soothing space.

How You Can Use It

Pair these barely-there paints with white trim, like Snowbound (seen here on the mantel), for subtle contrast that won't overwhelm.

Renew Blue, Valspar

Reminiscent of a robin's egg, Renew Blue, a peaceful and nature-inspired green-blue, does exactly what its name implies. It brings a refreshed, peaceful air to whatever space it inhabits.

How You Can Use It

Breathe new life into kitchen cabinets, or cover bathroom walls in this serene shade for a spa-like feel.

Persimmon, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams

How You Can Use It

Cover all the walls and trim in a living space for a happy, saturated feel that gets progessivly warmer and cozier as the sun sets.
