C2's Color of the Year for 2025 Is a "Chameleon" That Will Make Your Walls Look Effortlessly Sophisticated

A living room with a leather Chesterfield sofa, a marble coffee table, and walls with paneling painted in a chocolate brown color.

We're about to welcome fall or, as I like to call it, color forecasting season. This month, all your favorite household paint brands will be announcing the shade they predict will dominate the year ahead, and there's one particular color that's topping the trends already.

One of those leading the way is C2's color of the year for 2025. "Raku" is a rich, chocolatey brown tone that feels elegant, sumptuous, and sophisticated, and it's not the first time we've seen the hue crop up in this year's color forecasting, either. Browns are clearly one to watch as we head toward 2025, offering us the chance to ground our spaces and swathe our walls in comforting earthy color.
