By Bona Kim On

House & Home’s 2024 Paint Report is here.

Drench your home with the best paints colors of 2024, from Behr’s Cracked Pepper to our new favorite off-white shade by Benjamin Moore — Pristine. Scroll down for 10 trending hues you’ll love!

Ancient Burgundy

Valspar’s perfect marriage of red and purple, this rich merlot shade has dimension. Create a moment in an entry with a painted front door or envelop a home office or library in the color for a cozy, cocooning effect.

Ancient Burgundy (1011-6), Valspar.

Canvas

Pink is still having a moment. This is Barbiecore gone pale rose, for a softer, serene look. Classic and sophisticated, the barely-there blush looks beautiful with other pastel shades or, for more intrigue, add contrasting accents in deep green.

Cracked Pepper

Behr’s Color of the Year is bold, edgy and versatile. A perfect backdrop for blond woods and lighter accents, the soft charcoal shade makes a statement without being too stark. Used in a dining room, it creates an intimate environment that’s chic and stylish.

Cracked Pepper (PPU18-01), Behr.

India Yellow

This saturated mustard hue brings warmth and cosiness to spaces. Energize a living room with golden ochre walls, or paint your kitchen cabinets for an unexpected hit of color.

Mountain Olive

Green continues to trend, but instead of last year’s sage hues, we’re seeing a shift toward darker, muddier olives. This green from Behr has lush, gold undertones, giving it a restorative quality. For a fresh take, bring in contrast with yellows and plums or keep things natural with complementary earth tones.

Pristine

With its peach undertones, this delicate off-white by Benjamin Moore feels airy yet inviting. Try it in open areas such as hallways and pass-throughs to create an appealing transition from one moody space to another.

Sabre Gray

Evoking feelings of calm and relaxation, greys continue to reign. This cool iteration with silvery blue undertones visually expands spaces, making it perfect for powder rooms. Sabre gray panelling complemented with blond woods and brass accents creates a dimensional look with staying power.

Satin

Add a happy hue in your entry with this year’s trending yellow. Sico’s Color of the Year has a modern, honey-beige vibe that’s both optimistic and calm — it looks great with woods and makes art and objets pop.

Sulking Room Pink

This powdery mauve-pink from Farrow & Ball is feminine but not overly sweet, and looks just right in a kitchen. Juxtapose the muted hue with deep purple or black for a hit of pizzazz that will only heighten its ethereal qualities.

Topaz

Bright, bold colors are back! In 2024, we’ll be gravitating toward vibrant, personality-packed rooms. This deep coral is a delight on its own, but when color-blocked with other bright tones, the result is pure joy.
