Spring Paint Color Trends
Spring Paint Color Trend #1: Greens
The first spring paint color trend is green.
You may be wondering: “Is green paint in style?” It certainly is this time of year! Here’s why:
When most people think spring, they think of the sad greys of winter being replaced by the bright, vibrant greens of new grass, new plants, and new life in general!
In 2024, there are a few different shades of green that make the paint color trends.
Another featured spring paint color with hints of blue and green is Sherwin William’s Breaktime. Although technically a light green, this color has blue undertones. The combination of the two is super laid back and springy.
Spring Paint Color Trend #2: Browns
After green, browns are a natural spring color trend that works for lots of painted surfaces!
Like green representing grass, colors in the brown represent the earth from which all spring life blooms from! We aren’t talking about your basic brown’s, here. For example, Sherwin Williams’ Sable is a deep, deep brown that works great on exteriors. It’s a neutral, cozy, and earthy brown that makes it a popular spring paint choice!
On the other hand, Benjamin Moore’s Cappacino is a much lighter, although still cozy, brown. It has a touch of pink, like the flowers of spring, that blooms in any room and adds depth to any interior palette.
Spring Paint Color Trend #3: Blues
If this post has been making you thinking of a beautiful spring day with all the greens and browns, it’s times to add a sky with blues!
The next spring 2024 paint color trend is blue. Subtle blues can add a pop of color to any space for a cool, calming effect.
Benjamin Moore is highlighting their Windmill Wings in the 2024 spring paint color trend roundup. We love this periwinkle blue because it makes us think of a robin’s egg.
You can pair this great spring blue with some of the neutral browns we mentioned above or the whites and off-whites we’re going to cover below.
Spring Paint Color Trend #4: Whites
Brown isn’t the only neutral color that works in spring. White is a great spring paint color and one that stays in style all year long!
Benjamin Moore list a white and an off-white in their spring color palette. Simply White works well with both warm and cool overall palettes. So you can choose to pair it with some of the other spring colors from this post, or go in a completely different direction!
On the other hand, white down is a creamy, off-white that brings spring warmth to any interior space.
