What are the trending paint colors of 2022?
2022 Paint Color Trends
At the end of each year, top brands in several industries forecast the trending colors for the year ahead – including paint companies. And sure enough, their predictions are usually spot on. These color experts truly have their fingers on the pulse of what drives our collective inspiration. 2022 paint color trends are no different.
This year, forecasters have imagined peaceful and rejuvenating colors in our homes – a trend that’s been steadily developing over the course of the pandemic. As we’ve spent more and more time creating cozy spaces to wait out quarantines, the push towards restorative hues has been stronger than ever.
Warm tones inspired by nature take center stage, replacing the cool whites and greys that dominated the last decade. In 2022, there is noticeably a very strong push towards gentle and calming greens amongst several top brands. But there are a couple of surprises. A few brands choose vibrant, energizing hues to bring a pop of color and cheer. Let’s take a look at the 2022 paint color trends from each source:
