Color of the Year 2025: Quietude by Sherwin-Williams – A Gentle Call to Calm
Within a palette of hushed tones, Sherwin-Williams has named Quietude (SW 6212) its Color of the Year for 2025—a serene and soulful hue that speaks to our collective desire for stillness and restoration. Quietude is a soft sage green infused with a gentle whisper of blue, a delicate balance between earth and sky that grounds the senses while also inspiring quiet reflection.
As we move deeper into an era where design is increasingly shaped by mindfulness, wellness, and sustainability, Quietude reflects a cultural shift toward intentional living. It's a color that doesn’t shout but instead invites us to pause, breathe, and find solace in simplicity. It offers a soothing visual experience that aligns perfectly with contemporary design values: subtlety, calm, and enduring elegance.
Whether used on the exterior of a home to create a harmonious connection with nature or on the walls of an interior space to cultivate a peaceful retreat, Quietude delivers a timeless quality. It pairs beautifully with warm neutrals like taupe and sand, as well as natural textures such as wood, rattan, and stone. In minimalist spaces, it adds softness without overwhelming the senses. In more eclectic designs, it serves as a grounding element amid bolder choices.
What makes Quietude truly special is its versatility. In daylight, its cool undertones feel refreshing and rejuvenating. In the evening, it becomes more muted and introspective, making it ideal for bedrooms, reading nooks, or spa-like bathrooms. It’s a color that evolves with the light and mood of the day, just like the environments we inhabit.
More than just a color, Quietude is a mood—a feeling of peaceful clarity in an increasingly noisy world. It encourages us to embrace calm and create spaces that restore rather than stimulate. In 2025, Sherwin-Williams invites us to design with intention, and Quietude is the perfect place to begin.
