2027 paint colors of the year, matched across brands
Every brand's pick, with the closest color from each other brand we track. Useful when you like a Color of the Year but your local store sells a different brand.
Short version: 6 brands have named a 2027 Color of the Year so far. 4 of the 5 picks in our data have an estimated LRV under 30, so this year leans toward deeper, muted shades. Still to come: Benjamin Moore, expected mid-October 2026; Pantone, expected early December 2026.
Two brands landed close together. Glidden / PPG Artifact and Valspar Cottage Door are the nearest pair among this year's picks. They are still visibly different side by side, so they are not substitutes for each other.
Sherwin-Williams Celery has a twin. Its color values in our data are the same as Dutch Boy Grass Cloth, an existing color.
Dutch Boy Deep Rooted has a twin. Its color values in our data are the same as Sherwin-Williams Copper Mountain, an existing color.

Before you commit to a trend color
Most of this year's picks are deep and muted. Deep colors show more variation between sheens and under warm versus cool bulbs than light neutrals do, so a match that looks close on screen can drift on a wall. Paint a large sample on two walls and check it morning and evening before buying gallons.
Our matches compare digital color values with the CIEDE2000 formula; the methodology page explains what each label means. To test two colors against each other directly, use the compare tool.

Frequently asked questions
What are the 2027 paint colors of the year?
As of this update: Sherwin-Williams Celery; Glidden / PPG Artifact; Behr Grounded; Dutch Boy Deep Rooted; Valspar Cottage Door; Dunn-Edwards French Press Coffee. Benjamin Moore is expected mid-October 2026. Pantone is expected early December 2026.
Can I get a Color of the Year in a different paint brand?
Usually, yes. Each pick on this page lists the closest color from every other brand we track, with a plain-language label for how close it is. A paint store can also color-match a physical chip. Treat any substitute as a starting point and compare physical samples in your own room before buying, because sheen and lighting change how a color reads.
Are the matches exact?
They are the closest matches in our digital color data, calculated with the CIEDE2000 color-difference formula. Paint finish, lighting, substrate and tinting can change the result, so this is not a touch-up guarantee.
