2025 Trending Sherwin Williams Colors: A Studio Lee Take
It’s that time of year again—Sherwin Williams has dropped their Color Capsule of 2025, and the design world is buzzing with excitement. Their curated palette includes: Grounded, Sunbleached, Chartreuse, Rain Cloud, Clove, Malabar, Bosc Pear, White Snow, and Mauve Finery. But before we jump in, let’s get one thing straight: at Studio Lee, we don’t chase trends. We’re here for timeless design that feels authentic and lives beautifully—not something that will feel outdated by next spring.
That said, Sherwin Williams always manages to offer a little inspiration, and this year’s palette is no exception. At Studio Lee, we see color as more than just paint on a wall; it’s the foundation of a room’s energy and the way it makes you feel every day. That’s why we prioritize hues that evoke calm, warmth, and balance—tones that seamlessly integrate into your life and adapt with it over time.
So, let’s break it down. Which colors from the 2025 lineup fit into Studio Lee’s Organic Modern ethos? And which ones do we consider classic keepers?
The Studio Lee Picks: Organic Modern Meets Timeless
When we look at this year’s capsule, a few shades stand out as beautifully grounded and versatile—perfect for creating the calm, earthy spaces we love:
Sunbleached: A soft, airy hue that feels like your favorite linen shirt—effortless and inviting. It’s the kind of neutral that whispers “relax” without trying too hard.
Clove: Rich and grounding, this deep brown is the color equivalent of a well-loved leather chair. It brings warmth and depth without overpowering.
Malabar: Somewhere between taupe and gray, Malabar is a chameleon. It pairs effortlessly with natural wood tones and layered textures, making it a go-to for Organic Modern design.
White Snow: Crisp, clean, and versatile, this is the kind of white that works everywhere—but especially in spaces where you want natural light to do the heavy lifting. (Pro tip: It’s stunning on walls paired with natural wood trim.)
Why Trends Don’t Drive Us (and Why Timeless Always Wins)
While it’s fun to see what’s new and trending, at Studio Lee, we believe in investing in colors and finishes that stand the test of time.
Trends come and go faster than your latest Netflix binge. Chartreuse may have its moment (and don’t get me wrong, it’s playful!), but will it still feel fresh in five years? Probably not. That’s why we stick to a palette of neutrals and earthy tones that work year after year, season after season.
Neutral doesn’t mean boring. It means adaptable. It means creating a backdrop that allows your life—your art, your furniture, your story—to take center stage. Neutral interiors bring a sense of calm and balance, which is exactly what we all need in today’s chaotic world.
Some of My All-Time Favorites
If you’re looking for colors that go the distance, these Studio Lee staples have my heart:
Pure White: Warm but never too yellow, it’s the kind of neutral that plays well with others.
Drift of Mist: The perfect white for when you want softness and serenity.
Iron Ore: For those bold, moody moments—an accent wall, cabinetry, or even interior doors.
Rosemary: For those deep green hues that don’t feel too vibrant or too muted.
Anonymous: A soft, muted green that feels like a walk in the woods.
These shades might not grab headlines, but they’ll quietly transform your home into a space that feels both fresh and forever.
The Bottom Line: Timeless Is a Trend
So, while we’ll applaud Sherwin Williams for their 2025 picks, you’ll still find us reaching for our tried-and-true favorites. Because at Studio Lee, timeless design isn’t just a philosophy—it’s the foundation of every home we create.
Whether you’re drawn to the latest Color Capsule or you’re ready to commit to neutrals that will never let you down, remember this: Your home should reflect you—not what’s trending. And when in doubt, just know that Studio Lee will always have your back with colors that stand the test of time.
