Killer neutrals, of course. Just like a little black dress, a timeless neutral can complement any space and serve as an anchor for any passing trend. Let's review our favorite 2024 colors of the year and the looks we've pulled together that you're sure to love (and, yes, we did play favorites and list accordingly).
BEHR CRACKED PEPPER
Is it too soon to say that Behr Cracked Pepper is our "it" color of 2024?! This moody graphite-colored paint can be dressed up or down, from earthy to industrial. We love this rich shade with softer hues or more in-depth patterns, even more so when combined! Just like the little black dress mentioned above (you knew we'd be circling back to that, didn't you?!), this color is a coordinate darling.
Left Rotterdam Rovere : Decko Mid Century : Oh Darling Passion Pattern
Right Dorian Honey : Pinwheel Gingertail : Tre Moda Sera
HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams Persimmon
Sherwin Williams has been owning the color of the year game by launching an entire collection each year versus just one color. Because of that well-played marketing move (we see you!), we get to have Persimmon, a fresh and versatile warm neutral. This paint color crosses many design genres - from beachy to peachy (sorry, but we had to) - and we hope it lasts longer than 12 months on your mood board.
Left Geometric Calm Nacre White : Polka Dots Jasmine Delight : Oh Darling Affection Pattern
Right Scandinavia Adelaide Garden : Smooth Operator Calacatta Gold : Chi-Town Twenty-Three
Dutch Boy Paints Ironside
Not so long ago, muted green took over the interior design space. Ironside from Dutch Boy Paint is the grownup version of that trend. This rich olive paint is perfectly suited for warming up more serious and dramatic interiors, offering a more inviting feel. On the flip side, this color may be hard-pressed to find life beyond this season — the color pairing options can be more limiting, making it a challenge to utilize in a wide variety of spaces. No shade, just keeping it real!
Left Vixen Siren Goddess : Princeton Glaze Elm Alley : Smooth Operator Arabescato
Right Stripped Auburn : gallant jacobs mirror : Ingrain Buzzed Wood
Sherwin Williams Upward
Keeping your head in the clouds has never been more chic, thanks to Upward, another Sherwin Williams color of the year. We love the lighter feel of this soft blue paint — it has the ability to brighten any earthy shade or glittering metallic tone. Just make sure to pair it with a juxtaposing, complementary texture or material like a concrete or distressed wood look to keep things interesting. Otherwise, you're heading deep into a granny-core, traditional vibe. But, hey, we love a classic!
Left Kohala Alicia Isle : Arctic Siberian Heron : Stripped Blonde
Right Ala Timber Chelsea Grey : Effortless Xen Breeze : Retro Neuve Love Burst
