Sherwin-Williams has selected Celery as its 2027 Color of the Year. The light green shade has a soft yellow undertone. It offers a fresh and calm look for modern interiors.
The color is part of the Sherwin-Williams and HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams 2027 Color of the Year program. It also leads the brand’s Colormix 2027 Trend Forecast.
Celery Brings a Fresh Take on Green
Sherwin-Williams describes Celery as a softer take on green. The shade is not overly bright. It can add color while keeping a room light and relaxed.
Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams, said the shade offers a different interpretation of green. She also noted its potential for use across different interior spaces.
Celery can cover a full room or work as a smaller accent. It can be used on kitchen islands, consoles and built-ins. The shade may also work well in north-facing rooms.
Colormix 2027 Features 48 Shades
Celery leads the wider Colormix 2027 Trend Forecast. The collection includes 48 colors across bold, soft and neutral tones.
The forecast features shades such as Grenadine, Forward Fuchsia, Honorable Blue and Secret Garden. It also includes 10 continuity colors. These shades are designed to help create a more cohesive palette.
The collection focuses on stronger color choices and unexpected combinations. It also explores the use of color, texture and different finishes in interiors.
Rich Colors Add Depth
The 2027 forecast also includes deeper shades. Midnight is a deep plum, while Salty Dog is a navy tone.
Sherwin-Williams suggests using richer colors in small areas first. Painted islands and built-in shelving can add depth without changing an entire room.
For a stronger look, homeowners can use richer shades across larger spaces. Roycroft Bronze Green is one of the deeper colors included in the forecast.
Contrasting Colors Create Character
The forecast also highlights contrasting color combinations. Sherwin-Williams suggests pairing grounded shades with brighter tones.
Examples include Lotus Petal with Jadite. These combinations can bring more personality to interiors. Layering different colors, materials and finishes can also create a more individual look.
The 2027 palette reflects a move toward expressive interiors. It gives homeowners more options beyond traditional cream and beige schemes.
Color Trends Focus on Joy
The Colormix 2027 collection also includes colors linked with a lively and nostalgic feel. Real Red, Trinket and Dutch Tile Blue are among the featured shades.
Sherwin-Williams says paint remains an accessible way to change a space. The 2027 forecast encourages homeowners to explore color with greater confidence.
