Naturally Refined: The 2025 Color Collection

Quietude is just one of ten colors in the 2025 Color Collection of the Year, aptly named “Naturally Refined.” Each shade in this collection is thoughtfully selected to complement each other and create a harmonious, timeless look in your home. Alongside Quietude, you’ll find colors like Convivial Yellow, Sequin, Nomadic Desert, Nutshell, Spiced Cider, Snowbound, Stucco, Delft, and Rocky River.

“The ‘Naturally Refined’ Color Collection embraces the desire for simplicity and slower living,” says Ashley Banbury, Color Marketing Manager at HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams.

“Thoughtfully curated with longevity in mind, each shade emanates elements of timeless design and quiet luxury to help support a living space that feels meaningful. Within the collection, the softened sage green Quietude stands out as the 2025 Color of the Year and sets the stage for a quiet space to promote relaxation.”

The Perfect Shade for a Peaceful Home

Quietude is more than just a color; it’s a feeling. Its name alone suggests peace and tranquility, making it an ideal choice for spaces designed to relax and rejuvenate, like wellness rooms, meditation spaces, or nurseries. If you love organic palettes but need a little something extra to lift your spirits, Quietude is the perfect complement to shades of beige and white.

A Soft Transition from 2024

Compared to last year’s Color of the Year, Persimmon, which was a vibrant peachy hue, Quietude offers a softer, more subtle approach. While Persimmon was all about energy and boldness, Quietude brings a wave of calm contentment, yet it retains a brightness that keeps it from feeling dull.

This year, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams has also teamed up with Venus Williams and her AI-powered platform, Palazzo, to make it even easier for you to visualize Quietude in your home. Palazzo allows you to upload photos of your space and virtually apply the 2025 Color Collection, so you can see how Quietude and its coordinating colors will look in your home before you commit to painting.
