The paint colors of 2027 are calm greens, soft blue-greys and warm earth tones. So far eight paint brands have named their 2027 color of the year, and they landed on six colors: Soulful Sage (Dulux, Sikkens and Flexa), Celery (Sherwin-Williams and HGTV Home), Cottage Door (Valspar), Artifact (Glidden), Grounded (Behr) and Deep Rooted (Dutch Boy).
Below you'll find each one with its official value, what it's like on a wall, and the closest color from other brands, so you can buy it even where that brand isn't sold. The closest matches come from our own comparison of 51,362 colors in Muro, measured with ΔE 2000; below 1 the difference is practically invisible and below 2 you'd only notice it with the chips side by side. Every color's source is linked. Checked on September 28, 2026.
The three directions for 2027
- Soft, grey-leaning greens. Soulful Sage and Celery. Quiet, easy to live with, and they sit well with wood and linen.
- Blue-greys with a bit of mist in them. Cottage Door and Artifact. Cooler than the greens, calm in a bedroom or a study.
- Earthy and warm. Grounded, an olive brown, and Deep Rooted, a copper orange. For an accent wall, a dining room or anyone tired of plain white.
What they share is that none of them shouts. These are colors that change a lot with the light, which is why it pays to see them in your own room at different times of day before you commit.

How to choose a 2027 color for your room
- Look at your room's light first. North-facing rooms make cool colors look colder; Soulful Sage, Celery and Deep Rooted hold up better there than the blue-greys.
- Start from what stays. Your floor, sofa and kitchen don't change. Pick the trend color that works with them, not the one that looks best on its own.
- See it in the evening too. Greens and blue-greys shift a lot under warm lamps.
- Don't pay for a brand you can't get. Every color above has a close match from brands sold in Europe and the US.
In Muro you can put any of these colors, or their matches, on a photo of your own room and look at them by day, at sunset and at night, with the lamps on or off. Then put a real sample on the wall before you buy.
