Celebrating its 15th anniversary of announcing a Color of the Year, Sherwin-Williams decided to switch things up this year and created its first-ever Color Capsule of the Year for 2025.
The curated assortment of hues is said to encapsulate the world of color and create beauty in many stunning combinations.
“It’s very special to commemorate our 15th Color of the Year anniversary by expanding to an entire capsule that is a modern, fresh take on color, with a balanced and usable assortment of shades,” says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “Together—as a complete palette or in expertly picked pairings—the capsule’s alchemy creates something to be treasured in any style or setting.”
The capsule gathers the most essential colors from the brand’s entire collection, including Colormix Forecast favorites, their brightest whites, top designer picks, and the colors that best reflect the present and future.

- Grounded SW 6089: A versatile and captivating brown from the 2025 Colormix Forecast that imparts richness in spaces that call for the stability of a refined earthen tone.
- Sunbleached SW 9585: An adaptable and airy light neutral that is somewhere deeper than white, not quite gray, and ventures beyond a basic beige or taupe.
- Chartreuse SW 0073: A vibrant yellow-green that brings a jolt of joyful, tropical brightness and is both effortlessly eclectic and surprisingly versatile.
- Rain Cloud SW 9639: A stormy and deep gray-blue hue from the Designer Color Collection Rustic + Refined palette.
