5 Trending Paint Colors for 2022

Choosing a color scheme that matches your home, deciding on a finish, and considering natural light can be an overwhelming process. 

Whether you are trying to achieve a bright and airy or warm and cozy space, the right hue can help you accomplish your vision. Our color expert has chosen five colors that are trending right now to help get you started.

 

Alabaster (SW7008)

This hue has been a fan favorite since it was the color of the year in 2016. 

Its versatility to be paired with other calming neutrals, or ability to assist brighter shades, makes it an easy choice for just about any part of your home’s interior or exterior. 

Tap into its tranquil, meditative properties by sweeping it across your bedroom or nursery. Use it to join transitional and traditional styles by matching it with blushes or grays. Or, use it alongside darker hues to create a balanced contrast for your bathroom or office.

 

Coastal Plain (SW6192)

Utilizing muted colors like this is an easy way to incorporate color into your home without overwhelming it.

This muted green is delicate enough to be used on your home’s interior trim and doors and forward enough to use as a subtle, bold color in your bathroom or dining room. 

This color compliments grays, creams, and most other refined earth tones. 

 

Black Fox (SW7020)

Don’t let the name fool you; while this deep, saturated shade is named ‘black,’ the rich brown undertones of this color make it more adaptable for all your interior and exterior spaces.

Brown undertones tend to read more warm and elegant. Deep colors like this one appeal best to homeowners trying to achieve a more modern look.  

This hue is an excellent choice as an interior or exterior trim color when paired with lighter shades. Use it as the body of your home’s exterior when paired with a darker, more true black trim color. 

 

Iron Ore (SW7069)

This is the color for you if you are looking for a bold statement. Most of the time, a true black appears too stark. This charcoal color can read as a true black but is soft enough to pair with other neutrals to achieve a natural feel.

This color is often used as a home’s exterior trim color when paired with lighter hues, or the primary paint color when paired with other natural elements such as wood and soft landscapes.

The depth of this color choice makes it a front runner for an accent wall on your home’s interior to create a dramatic focal point. 

 

Repose Gray (SW7015)

The perfect ‘greige’ does exist! This is an ideal neutral for virtually any decor style. 

Have you ever painted a room gray only to notice that it has a purple or blue hue? Not to fear, this shade has a taupe base that eliminates that issue. 

You can use this color anywhere, and it has been a popular choice as the primary color for a home’s exterior and interior alike. Wherever you put it and however you use it, you will find it leaves a crisp and clean space. 

Our color expert, Toska, will help you achieve whatever aesthetic you are dreaming of for your home’s interior or exterior. She will walk you through a color consult to take the guesswork out of finding a color you are sure to love and one that compliments your home.

Very happy with the work performed by Unique Painting. They kept me regularly updated throughout the process as to when the project would be completed as the spring rains this year have played havoc with the ability to do exterior work. I had several questions about various paints and Chad answered them all in detail explaining the pluses and minuses of the options. They have their work down to a science as a team of professional painters descends on your home to prep and paint. The power washing team was also very professional. On paint day we noticed that the trim color was significantly different from what we'd picked out. At first I thought once it dried it would look different, but it didn't. After showing Chad the paint swatch he was quickly on the phone with Sherwin Williams. We went to the store and verified that their system was incorrect on the trim color so Sherwin Williams replaced the paint and Chad and his team got back to work to repaint the trim in the right color and still finished the job on time. We also had them do some minor interior work which they also did a great job on. After my experience with Unique Painting I would definitely recommend their services. They will use quality materials, they will properly prepare the home, and they'll do a very thorough and professional job painting.
