The 10 Colors Everyone’s Painting Their Homes in 2025

Rosemary by Sherwin Williams

Nature-inspired colors are in for 2025, and green hues fall right in step with this trend. Rosemary by Sherwin Williams is a great example as a medium to darkish green with subtle gray undertones. “It’s warm, not vibrant, and decidedly green but muted,” Woolf says. “As an exterior field color it works on cottage style, Victorian, Foursquare and Craftsman-style homes — and it looks gorgeous on brick.” This color also pairs nicely with warm neutrals and wood tones.

Vine Leaf by Behr

Vine Leaf by Behr is a brighter green but still keeps with the earthy color palette of 2025. Vibrant and fresh, this color offers a lively pop of color without being overwhelming. It’s a perfect choice for homeowners who want to make a statement without straying too far from earthy, grounded tones. Despite its brightness, Vine Leaf works well with neutral tones like warm grays, whites or wood accents and is effective as the main exterior color or as an accent on shutters and doors.

Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore

“We’re generally seeing a movement away from cool neutrals to warm neutrals,” Woolf says, including warm or muted whites. Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore is representative of this trend with creamy undertones and is a color Jenkins turns to all the time. Clients will want “a beautiful warm off-white with a light greige shutter,” she says, and Swiss Coffee on a home’s field area paired with Edgecomb Gray by Benjamin Moore on shutters creates a “quintessential combination.”

Oxide by Behr

A deep, rich, earthy reddish-brown with warm undertones, Oxide by Behr creates a bold look while staying on trend as a nature-based color. This striking hue can be used to add character and depth to your home’s exterior as a pop of color on the front door or shutters or as a main field paint. It pairs nicely with warm neutrals, wood tones and stone while complementing modern and contemporary homes.

Anonymous by Sherwin Williams

Sage gray/greens are one of the most popular exterior paint colors for 2025, with Anonymous by Sherwin Williams being a standout example. While technically a gray, the green undertones give it a sage-like appearance that pairs well with other muted neutrals like warm whites and beige. Complementing a variety of architectural styles, from coastal and modern farmhouse to traditional and colonial homes, Anonymous is an excellent option for homeowners who want a relaxed, natural aesthetic.

Flint by Benjamin Moore

“Another color family I get a lot of requests for are the deep, moody gray-greens,” Jenkins says, of which Flint by Benjamin Moore is a heavy favorite. “This color is just gorgeous outside,” she says. A deep, cool medium-dark gray, Flint offers a bold, modern look while adding depth and visual interest to any home’s exterior. “I call it a charcoal blue. It’s a mixture of blue-green and gray, but heavy on the blue side,” Jenkins says. “It’s great for shutters on a white house or paired with black gutters and windows.”

Whitall Brown by Benjamin Moore

A deep, dark brown with red undertones, Whitall Brown by Benjamin Moore is part of a larger trend toward dark brown exterior paint in 2025. “I think dark browns play into two trends that are popular: dark colors and earthier tones,” Woolf says. “It’s a way of doing dark blue or black without doing dark blue or black.” Dark brown paint colors are very versatile too. “It works in the Southwest, Pacific Northwest and on Garrison, Four-Square and Craftsman-style houses,” Woolf adds.

Needlepoint Navy by Sherwin Williams

While deep blues have been part of exterior color trends for a few years, they’re still one of the most popular paint colors for 2025. Warmer than black, a dark blue like Needlepoint Navy by Sherwin Williams can add depth to coastal, traditional and modern homes. Whether used as an accent on garage doors, trim, or shutters, or as a dominant field color, Needlepoint Navy offers flexibility, easily adapting to both modern and classic designs depending on the complementary colors around it.

Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore

If you’re after an earthy, neutral and versatile color for your home’s exterior, consider Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. A soft, warm gray with subtle undertones of green and beige, this light to medium-toned color can complement architectural styles from traditional to contemporary. A great transitional color, it complements stone, brick or wood elements of your home’s exterior, while pairing well with crisp whites or charcoal trim and accents.

Tyler Gray by Benjamin Moore

A warm, sophisticated gray, Tyler Gray by Benjamin Moore is an understated color that will stand the test of time. “It’s a mid-tone neutral that sits between gray and beige,” Woolf says. “Colors like this seem to outlast trends, which is important if you’re painting your house every ten years or so.” She recommends trying Tyler Gray with brick or stone fixed materials on the exterior, like stone veneer. “You’re trying to avoid setting up a clash,” Woolf says, “Colors like those gray beiges can be much more flexible.”
