It’s almost the new year, which means it’s time for fresh interior design trends and new sources of inspiration. One annual highlight we always look forward to is Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Year. Each year, Sherwin-Williams selects a hue that reflects broader cultural influences and sparks conversation about how color shapes the spaces we live in.
Sherwin-Williams’ Color of the Year is Universal Khaki SW 6150. This warm, versatile neutral brings a sense of understated comfort and effortless sophistication to any space. With its balance of livability and longevity, Universal Khaki is a tailored and timeless neutral shade. It pairs beautifully with a wide range of colors and finishes, complementing design styles from modern and contemporary to classic and traditional.
If you’re looking to refresh your home in the new year, incorporating Universal Khaki is a simple way to add warmth, depth, and lasting style to your space.
“Universal Khaki is the easygoing neutral that makes every room feel pulled together,” notes Sue Wadden, Director of Color Marketing and Trendsight Team Leader. “Its warm, earthy tone works with natural finishes, crisp whites or bold pops of color – bringing timeless style to your home.”
Whether used as a wall color, cabinetry finish, or subtle accent, Universal Khaki offers a timeless foundation that adapts effortlessly to evolving styles. Its warmth and versatility make it an ideal choice for creating spaces that feel welcoming, balanced and thoughtfully designed— setting the tone for a beautiful home in the year ahead.
