Sherwin-Williams TERRA 2023

Paint color trends are always changing and evolving. As a pro painter, the challenge is to stay current so you can best help your customers in the color selection process.

One excellent resource is the annual Sherwin-Williams Colormix® Color Forecast. Each year, the company’s Color Forecast Team of color professionals spend months researching color, design and pop culture trends to develop their latest paint color recommendations.

For 2023, the theme is Terra. Composed of 40 forward-looking colors across the four palettes, they’re also the basis of the six distinctive palettes of the 2023 Commercial Colormix Forecast for commercial, hospitality, new residential, healthcare, education and multi-family settings.
