2025 Glidden Color of the Year: Purple Basil
Glidden is embracing the trend of maximalism in home design – and so are Improveit’s designers. Deeply toned Purple Basil throws neutrals out the window and lets you indulge in surrounding yourself with rich color. The natural tone lends itself well to green accents through décor or foliage, while light surfaces and metallics like brushed gold give it a lift of brightness and shine.

How Will You Use the 2025 Color of the Year at Home?
No matter the aesthetic you want for your home, there’s a 2025 Color of the Year to help you add fresh life with new color. Use the professionally designed mood boards above as your starting point, or dream up your own combination with these tips:
- In the Kitchen: Use the color of the year as wall paint, in accent décor, or in new cookware like a beautiful enameled Dutch oven or set of glasses or dinnerware. When a color truly speaks to you, commit to it with painted cabinetry, or a piece of furniture like your dining table or a sideboard.
- In the Bathroom: Bathrooms are wonderful spaces to experiment with color, thanks to their smaller footprints and dedicated space that’s often isolated from the rest of the home. Drench your bathroom or powder room in your favorite Color of the Year, or make a subtler statement with bath towels, soap dispensers, framed artwork, and other décor.
- Living Spaces: Once again, painting an accent wall or a whole room is an great way to refresh your space with your favorite shade, but home decor is an easy switch you can make whenever you feel up to it. Add colorful accent blankets, throw pillows, rugs, and artwork any time you need a change.
- Home Exteriors: Color of the Year selections should be enjoyed inside, but not hidden there. Try a bold pop of color by painting your front door in your favorite shade, or swapping out your patio cushions. With the natural colors in this year’s Color of the Year collection, planters and new annuals in your flower beds are great ways to bring in new shades. Looking for something more permanent?
