Better Homes & Gardens: 6 Paint Color Trends Designers Say Are Officially Out for 2027
Better Homes & Gardens asked leading designers which paint directions are giving way to more expressive, enduring palettes for 2027. Elizabeth Valkovics points to a move beyond dusty sages, pale blues, and stark black in favor of jewel-toned indigos, richer olives, mauve-based taupes, and deep reds and charcoals shaped by bronze, plum, or green undertones.
Elizabeth also considers finish as part of the larger composition. Rather than changing sheen from one surface to another, she recommends a consistent finish across trim, walls, and ceilings for a more cohesive result. Together, these shifts favor color choices with greater warmth, dimension, and connection to the character of the room.
