Sherwin-Williams has released its 2027 Colormix Trend Forecast, Rewild, a collection of 48 colors designed to encourage a more intuitive, personal approach to color selection.
Developed by the company’s Trendsight Team, the forecast is organized around three design stories—Revive, Reignite, and Reconnect—which explore themes of heritage, self-expression, and the relationship between people and nature.
“With Rewild, we’re embracing a more intuitive approach to color forecasting,” says Emily Kantz, color strategist and interior designer at Sherwin-Williams. “Rather than prescribing how colors should be used, we’re inviting designers, homeowners, and professional paint contractors to explore the possibilities for themselves. The 2027 forecast celebrates individuality, creative freedom, and the emotional connections people are seeking in the spaces they create, while providing the confidence of expert color direction informed by the trends shaping the future.”
New for 2027, Sherwin-Williams also introduced 10 Continuity Colors, a group of enduring shades designed to pair with the forecast’s trend-driven hues and provide long-term versatility for projects.
