Supported by trend data and driven by design expertise, the Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year is carefully selected by the Sherwin-Williams Trendsight Teams from its annual Colormix® Trend Forecast, a curation of hues that predict tomorrow’s trends.
The Color of the Year represents the cultural and emotional shifts that are moving the world, as identified and analyzed by the foremost thought leaders in color and design.
The 2027 Color of the Year, Celery SW 6421, is a soft, muted green with subtle yellow undertones – somewhere between a pastel and a natural herb tone.
It was selected by the Trendsight Team to bring a snap of freshness to otherwise still and settled spaces – like stepping into a sunlit clearing where the mind calms, stories unfold, and a quiet sense of belonging naturally follows.

Putting it to work on your projects
For the paint pro, that means you can introduce your customers to a color expertly chosen for its refreshing and restorative nature – a balanced shade of green that brings a sense of calm to any space.
Ashley Banbury is Color Marketing Manager of the Trendsight Team. She says: “Celery is one of those colors people immediately connect with. This calming shade works seamlessly across any style to deliver a finished look that’s fresh and approachable. Celery’s organic character makes it a color that feels real, grounding design in comfort and connection.”
Color of the Year Coordinating Palette
In addition to the Color of the Year, there are nine coordinating colors and a stain color coordinate that allow Celery to shine as the central hue, while offering complementary tones that enhance its soft, natural character.
Celery acts as the unifying element, bringing depth and vibrancy to the entire color scheme for a cohesive and inviting look.
