The 2027 Trend Forecast Has Arrived!

Every year, we await the announcement of the ColorMix Forecast, and Sherwin-Williams has done it again. The 2027 ColorMix Forecast is Rewild. This collection of paint colors explores the wilds of color with 48 handpicked hues, featuring 10 timeless Continuity Colors. All sought after by designers and curated by Sherwin-Williams’ expert Trendsight Team℠. Designed to work in countless combinations, these colors give you the freedom to mix, layer, experiment, and define a palette all your own.

Wayne Homes uses Sherwin-Williams paint in all our homes, and we love that we can depend on our paint partner to inform on-trend color choices. Brittany Burkhart, Model & Design Manager, says, “This year’s Sherwin-Williams ColorMix Forecast strikes a beautiful balance — pairing refined neutrals with warm, vibrant accents. Our model homes lean toward neutrals to resonate with more buyers, but the ColorMix Forecast illuminates where we draw inspiration for accents and furnishings,” Brittany explains.

How to Incorporate On-Trend Colors

We know it can seem overwhelming to select colors for a new home, but that’s why we have a dedicated design team at your service. Their expertise helps bring your vision to life. Brittany shared how she used a base of neutrals with a pop of color from the Rewild palette to update one of our model homes: “In our recently refreshed Alexandria model in Delaware, browns, khakis, and blues echo the ColorMix Forecast palette,” she shared. “We’re already planning a few projects that will take these trends even further. As for painting, the darker and more jewel-toned colors in the forecast make for great accent walls and color-drenched rooms. Cordovan strikes me as the perfect choice for a color-drenched office—pair it with brass fixtures and accents for a space that balances sophistication with warmth.”

Where to Start: Rewild Continuity Colors

Unsure where to begin? Try these 10 colors. Rewild Continuity Colors are trusted hues that continue to carry across trend landscapes, environments, and applications. With favorites like Icicle and Forged Steel, you can use these base colors to anchor other, more vibrant colors.

Here is a full list of the Continuity Colors:

• Cordovan
• Red Barn
• High Sierra
• White Duck
• Forged Steel
• Roycroft Bronze Green
• Clove
• Dutch Tile Blue
• Icicle
• Celery

Bring In Some Bold Accents

Even though the Continuity Colors are anything but basic, there are bolder choices in the larger Rewild Color Palette. The Rewild Lookbook shows some beautiful examples of bold pairings, like Cordovan on the walls and Quietude on the ceiling. The team at Wayne Homes can help you discover some places where a color pop might be just what your home needs. For example, an accent wall in the owner’s suite, or a color-drenched office, or even a moody-hued powder room. These can be spaces where you can take a break from a whole-house neutral and have some fun.
