The colour palette for 2025 – these are the shades paint experts say we’ll see everywhere next year

Autumn is an exciting time of the year (at least for me) largely because it’s the time all the colours of the year (also known as COTYs, for short) - or colour palettes in some brands’ cases - are announced by major paint brands, painting the picture of what our homes will look like in the new year. The overall colour palette for 2025 already has a much clearer direction than previous years.

When it comes to the various COTYs, it’s sometimes difficult to find a commonality between the paint companies’ proposed shades, they all have the potential to be a big paint trend for 2025. Yet, this year, I can see a common thread running through the shades and colour schemes – something I struggled with last year when picturing the colour palette of 2024.
