Color is back for 2023, and I’ve hand picked some of my favorites that are trending this season. Let’s explore these 5 fresh color palettes for spring 2023!

1. Pretty Pastels

It wouldn’t be spring without a classic color palette of pretty pastels! Many of Valspar’s Colors of the Year are soft pastels, making them the perfect choice when you want to introduce color in a subtle way. They can also help you open a space, and make a small room seem larger. Soft colors have restorative effects, too, creating a sense of soothing calm within a room. They will look gorgeous with delicate contemporary or traditional furniture that echoes the light, airy feeling of pastels.

2. Warm & Earthy

In contrast, a warm color palette will make a space seem smaller and more intimate. Warm colors are very popular for 2023, as seen by this earthy color palette from Sherwin-Williams. Their Color of the Year is Redend Point, which draws inspiration from hues found in the natural world around us. The corresponding color palette features similar subdued tones that bring warmth and versatility to any room. These colors are a nice complement to a minimalist style because they create a sense of contrast and balance the design. 

3. Bright & Vibrant

Say goodbye to winter blues with this bright and vibrant color palette! Raspberry Blush is Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year, and it pairs well with their other trending colors for bold and energizing design. This color palette is perfect for those who are looking to achieve a contemporary look or a mid-century modern aesthetic. Use these colors thoughtfully to create accent walls in your home, or paint an entire room in these fun colors to make a statement!

4. Cozy Eclectic

If a bright and vibrant palette doesn’t match your taste, try a more refined color combination with this palette from Dunn-Edwards. The trend for warm colors in 2023 continues with their Color of the Year, Terra Rosa. You can complement it with a mix of softer pink variations, and rich jewel tones to create a stylish, eclectic design. The warm colors make the room feel cozy and inviting, the jewel tones give it an upscale feel, and the unique combination of these colors together make for a memorable, one-of-a-kind design. 

5. Neutrals

You can never go wrong with neutrals! A neutral color can be used to create a timeless, effortless look. I love this palette from Behr! The colors have warm undertones to make a room feel welcoming, and they are easy to coordinate with wood accents for additional warmth. Neutrals can be used to emphasize the elements of a design, such as line repetition, texture, shape. They also make a great blank canvas for colorful accessories and interesting conversation starters. 

With a few thoughtful color updates, you can refresh your home and start a new chapter, right along with the new season. Use these color palettes as an inspirational starting point, or explore all the possibilities and create your own!
