Experts Pick Spring Paint For 2024

This is a season of new beginnings, and color trends experts predict the most popular shades will be cheerful ones that express a sense of rejuvenation and add visual interest. These fresh, nature-inspired colors evoke a spirit of creativity, a life of spontaneity and happiness while still providing a sense of familiarity.

“Our use of color is connected to the cultural mood. As we explore a new future, we are looking for opportunities to do something completely different,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, in a press release. “Colors that celebrate our desire to break the boundaries satisfy our fervent need for the playful creativity and unconstrained visual expression we are seeking as we enter into this time.”

A Spring color palette is the perfect place to find an energizing kitchen color combination, light hearted living room color, or serene master bedroom paint color. After years of trendy grays, even the neutral shades are taking on warmer hues in 2024. With this in mind, here’s our list of the top 25 Spring paint colors for your walls.

Benjamin Moore October Mist

Benjamin Moore makes a strong argument for pastels with its 2024 Color of the Year, October Mist. This soft sage green is serene enough for a living room or bedroom paint color, but it has a subtle vibrancy that brightens a space. October Mist works beautifully with both pale neutral paint and darker shades.

Green in almost any shade will provide a fresh update for your home this Spring. Nature-inspired hues like earthy olive green, pale jade green or deep mossy green are both grounding and uplifting. Pale green paint is ideal for kitchen cabinets, walls and furniture. They add a touch of warmth and comforting nostalgia, even in modern spaces.

Benjamin Moore Fernwood Green

Olive greens like Benjamin Moore’s Fernwood Green have a yellow undertone that enhances their warmth.

Shades of gray-green (like Wythe Blue with its slightly blue undertone) are extremely versatile. This popular paint shade looks great with light or dark floors, and is the perfect backdrop for art and accessories. Create a calm yet bright interior by combining Wythe Blue with a gray-toned neutral like Classic Gray, accented with earthy pale gold and brown tones.

Benjamin Moore Salamander

Of course, deep shades of green are still going strong in interior design, so a dark green paint color like Benjamin Moore’s Backwoods or Salamander is still a great choice for your Spring home makeover. Painting an accent wall is an easy DIY project that creates a big impact in just one afternoon.

Blue Is Back In Bold And Pastel Shades

Blue is back as designers embrace a range of shades for Spring of 2024. This timeless shade reminds us of trips to the sea and the optimism of clear skies. It has the unique quality of being both soothing and invigorating.

Benjamin Moore Morning Sky

A touch of pale blue is the perfect contrast for the dark greens that have been trending the past few years. This kitchen brightens up Amazon Green cabinets with Morning Sky on the backsplash:

Benjamin Moore Windmill Wings

Pair a light powder blue with a crisp white for a calming coastal look. Light floors evoke Scandinavian life:

Benjamin Moore Seaport Blue

Interior designers’ fascination with global design and exotic colors and textures seems to be here to stay. Dark hues like Hale Navy and Old Navy have been extremely popular kitchen cabinet colors and wall colors for the past several years. Bright, optimistic medium blues may begin to replace them in 2024. Decorate your home for Spring and beyond with bright blue paint colors inspired by Marrakech and the Mediterranean.

Benjamin Moore Soft Spruce

Teal is a bold blue-green shade that hints of faraway places like India, Morocco or China. Benjamin Moore Soft Spruce 671 is a cheerful color that enhances natural daylight and sets off traditional furnishings to perfection. Pair it with black accents for extra punch.

Decorate For Spring With Mustard and Gold

Yellow is complementary to blue on the color wheel so it’s a natural choice for your Spring home project. Yellow rooms provide sunny optimism, enhancing the sunlight and lifting your mood even when it’s cold outside. Expect to see butter, citron, ochre and pale gold warming up interiors in Spring of 2024. These wall colors can be difficult to work with because yellow colors seem to amplify as they are reflected around the room. When choosing between two yellow paint colors it’s good to choose the shade that’s less intense.

Benjamin Moore Pale Moon

This living room’s buttery soft yellow, Pale Moon by Benjamin Moore, is the perfect backdrop for a contemporary mustard lounge chair and gray accents.

Dark yellow-gold and mustard shades have been popular in interior design recently as accent colors.In our Spring colors of 2024 they’re moving onto walls and enveloping entire rooms. We recommend accessorizing mustard paint colors with deep earth tones. Give your Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy dining room a new twist by painting an adjoining space yellow or gold. Neutrals like brown, ochre and black help to temper a rich yellow like Anjou Pear:

Pink And Clay: Spring Paint Color Inspiration

Spring 2024 sees designers moving past the overused Millennial Pink trend and into more sophisticated shades. Pink is a surprisingly neutral color – it recedes into the background while adding warmth. Choosing the right pink paint color takes some effort, since many shades of pink look juvenile or feel cold. Apricot and clay paint colors create instant warmth and add interest to a room.

Benjamin Moore First Light

For an elegantly understated pink room, look for subtle brown undertones like those in Benjamin Moore’s 2021 Color of the Year, First Light:

Add a modern edge with accents in gray and terracotta; then paint adjoining areas a warm neutral like Benjamin Moore’s Edgecomb Gray. Pink is such a versatile color that it complements almost any other paint color. Combine a pink paint color with decor in olive green, rich brown, charcoal or deep burgundy for your Spring decor update.

Designers Love Periwinkle And Violet Paint

Some of the top trending Spring colors for 2024 are on the purple end of the spectrum; violet, lavender, plum and periwinkle. Until recently, purple seemed to be on a long hiatus from interior design. The popularity of gray over the past several years has brought attention to violet-grays, so the time is ripe for true shades of purple to become popular again. Deep purple has historically been associated with royalty, while lavender and violet are traditionally Spring colors. The perfect complement to popular shades of pale green, clay and gold, lilac and lavender can be surprisingly elegant and sophisticated.

Violet and lavender shades add contrast and interest to contemporary architecture as well:

 

We’re not alone in predicting that purple shades will be the next big trend. The color forecasting firm Pantone announced a periwinkle shade called Very Peri as their Color of the Year for 2024. Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director at the Pantone Color Institute, explains that the color “displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages creativity and imaginative expressions.”

Cozy Neutrals and Warm White Paint

The newest neutral paint colors have warm tones, a definite change from the cool grays of recent years. With subtle undertones of gold, pink and brown the latest neutral paint colors help to create cozy, comfortable rooms. Warm shades like Revere Pewter and Navajo White are the perfect complement to Spring colors like sage green, pale mustard yellow and apricot pink. If you decide to use a mostly neutral color palette, add dimension with chunky knit throws and pillows, textured rugs and linen or velvet upholstery. Accent warm neutrals with rich metals like gold, brass and copper. Gray-brown and greige tones in wood furniture and accessories add to a timeworn, cozy look:

Warm white paint colors with distinctly creamy undertones like Linen White amplify natural sunlight throughout the day:

Sample Your Favorite Benjamin Moore Colors in Your Home

Adding color to a room that may have been a gray or neutral color for a few years is a big step! You can make your own moveable paint swatch using color sample pots. Our interior designers' favorite trick for testing paint colors in multiple spaces is to paint the colors on a poster board to move around the room. This tip also lets you put it right up next to your trim and see the true reading of the color. Check the samples throughout the day to see how the colors change as the daylight changes. If you plan to repaint any adjoining spaces as well, create a color sample board for each of the colors and test them in both rooms to see how the shades work together.
