Sherwin-Williams recently debuted its color trend report, the 2025 Colormix® Forecast: Capsules. It presents a collection of 48 trending colors divided into four themes — Chrysalis, Paradox, Wellspring, and Kindred. Each capsule is designed to tell a unique story through color, reflecting aspects such as peaceful living, bold experimentation, and community connections. The forecast is supported by rigorous research and global trend analysis from the Sherwin-Williams Global Trendsight team.
In conjunction with the color trend report, Sherwin-Williams is launching its first podcast, Colormixology™. Hosted by Sue Wadden, Director of Color Marketing, the podcast aims to delve into design trends and the color forecasting process with industry leaders and experts in various episodes.
