Earlier this year, I spoke to color specialists from a range of paint brands to explore all of the key design trends following the recently unveiled Color of the Years. While there were many standout themes, from nostalgic colors to warm tones, the emergence of 'quietly colorful' hues immediately stood out to me.
It was Benjamin Moore who imagined this paint trend with its Color of the Year and wider Color Trends palette for 2025 – focusing on liveable, grounding shades that offer a comforting take on decorating with color, moving away from anything too bold in favor of more forgiving shades.
