Each year, paint manufacturers and color experts share their predictions for the paint colors they expect to trend in the year ahead.
1. Forest Greens
Consider shades of green that evoke the forest, grass, and other elements of nature.
The great outdoors are forecasted to influence consumer color selections and paint undertones. To bring the outside inside, look for organic, muddy shades of green like moss and sage to bring a little nature into your home.

2. Creamy Whites
Behr predicted this trend with the announcement of its 2023 color of the year, Blank Canvas. The warm, creamy shade of white features very slight organic green and brown undertones. It’s an ideal backdrop upon which to feature other complementary paint colors.
3. Earthy Blues
While blues have trended cooler in the past, this year’s forecasted blues are richer, deeper, and cozier. Expect to see blue paint colors that are warmer and feature either brown or green undertones. Earthy shades of mineral blue, such as what’s found in granite, and soft, watery blues are also hues you can expect to see in 2023.
