Welcome to the color playground of 2025, where walls aren’t just walls — they’re personality statements. Whether you’re reimagining your forever home or finally covering that faded eggshell from 2008, this year’s interior paint trends are bolder, moodier, and more expressive than ever.

At ReliaPaint, we stay on top of what’s hot (and what’s a hard pass), so here’s our no-fluff guide to the top paint colors for 2025—and what they say about the people who love them.

🧡 1. Burnt Sienna & Terracotta Tones

Vibe: Warm, grounded, artistic
You Are: A host with the most, and maybe a little obsessed with curated Instagram tablescapes. These earthy tones are perfect for kitchens and cozy living rooms where conversation and comfort rule.
Pro Tip: Pair with warm white trim for a polished look that doesn’t scream “Southwest circa 1994.”

🌑 2. Charcoal Black (Yes, Black!)

Vibe: Sophisticated, bold, moody
You Are: Not afraid to make a statement—and probably good at cocktail banter. Black walls are dominating in powder rooms, dining rooms, and modern dens.
Pro Tip: Use a high-quality matte finish for drama without the gloss. Add metallics or wood to balance the depth.
