Top Paint Colors for 2021
Whether you’re remodeling your home or simply looking to brighten up a single room, the colors you choose can make all the difference. Paint color trends are always something to get excited about. As children, many of us had a favorite color — maybe you wished everything you owned was pink, green, or blue. As we grow older, our tastes evolve, but certain colors still warm our hearts, make a house feel like home, or radiate a beauty we can’t resist. While color preferences are deeply personal, we often look to trends and each other for inspiration. Like fashion, interior paint colors have their seasons. Let’s take a look at the top paint color trends for 2021.
Pantone 2021 Paint Color of the Year
Pantone revealed two colors to take the name of 2021 Paint Color of the Year together: PANTONE 17-5104, Ultimate Gray and PANTONE 13-0647, Illuminating.
Illuminating is a stunning yellow, vibrant and cheerful, designed to encourage hope, as Pantone describes it. Ultimate Gray, a calming hue, perfectly complements this sunny tone.
Many other popular brands have their own 2021 Paint Color of the Year, in a variety of hues. You’ll find colors to suit every palette. Take a look at Aegean Teal 2136-40 from Benjamin Moore® and Urbane Bronze by Sherwin Williams®.

Popular Paint Colors for 2021
You may also notice additional trends, towards colors you perhaps haven’t seen dominate homes in previous years. Having spent plenty of time at home recently, many residents are keen to improve their indoor spaces to make them more inviting and enjoyable to be in.
- Orange: From pale peaches to deep sunset tones, orange is set to be a popular accent color this year.
- Warm neutrals: Designers are moving towards warmer neutral tones with pink, orange or yellow undertones. Beige and tan colors are usually warm.
- Green: Green will make a striking appearance in homes across the nation. From elegant emerald tones to greens that remind us of the great outdoors, this is one statement color that will appeal to many.
- Aqua: Bright blues and summery aqua tones are also trending. Designers are turning towards these vibrant hues over the deeper blues that dominated last year.

How to Make the Most of 2021 Paint Color Trends
How much or how little you embrace the popular paint colors of 2021 is up to you. Perhaps an orange kitchen is an on-trend dream come true, or maybe you still adore last year’s navy trend. Remember, you don’t have to go all-in, or keep the paint you choose now, forever. So if something strikes you as beautiful, enjoy it.
If there’s a dominant tone you love, consider picking a complementary neutral color to go with it. As Pantone has cleverly suggested with their 2021 Paint Colors of the Year, a bright color and a softer tone can work perfectly together.
