Rumors is a vibrant burgundy that brings warmth into any space. "We’re seeing people embrace colour like never before,” says Erika Woelfel, vice president of colour and creative services at Behr Paint Company. “Rumors is a modern take on timeless red that creates energetic appeal and lasting impact in a stunning way."

Quietude is a calming, gentle hue reminiscent of a beach house. Paint this shade in a bedroom, living room, or on kitchen cabinets.

Starry Night is a deep purple that illustrates the transformative power of colours from nature. We suggest using it not only on your walls, but on exterior doors and cabinets for a burst of calming colour.

“People might feel like the purple family is unexpected, but when you take a look at this colour, you get a calm, earthy feeling,” says Sharon Grech, an expert in design and colour trends at Benjamin Moore. Cinnamon Slate is rich, velvety, and approachable for even the most colour-shy homeowners.

Sherwin-Williams: Colour Capsule

For 2025, Sherwin-Williams opted to release a collection of colours rather than one single colour of the year. The shades are fresh, subdued, and will add a hint of playfulness to your home.

Minwax: Violet

This purple shade is the maximalist colour of our dreams. A foray from the more muted shades from other brands, Violet would make a statement through colour drenching, or on furniture like dressers or shelves.

C2: Raku

This burnt red shade draws inspiration from the centuries-old pottery technique known for its unique patterns. Though not extravagant, Raku exudes sophistication and depth.

Dunn-Edwards: Caramelized

A warm, earthy terracotta, Caramelized is a soft shade that would stand out in any room in the house.
