Moody reds, mossy greens, warm earth tones and expressive colors are set to influence interior design in 2027. Here’s what South Florida homeowners should know about Sherwin-Williams’ new Rewild color forecast.
Sherwin-Williams has released its 2027 Colormix® Trend Forecast, offering an early look at the paint colors and interior design trends expected to shape homes in the year ahead.
Called Rewild, the 2027 forecast features 48 handpicked colors designed to give homeowners and designers more freedom to create spaces that feel personal rather than following one prescribed color palette. The collection ranges from rich reds and deep greens to earthy neutrals, mineral-inspired shades, warm browns and expressive accent colors.
Rather than dividing the colors into traditional palettes, Sherwin-Williams organizes the forecast around three design stories: Revive, Reignite and Reconnect. Together, they reflect a broader movement toward homes that feel more individual, layered and connected to the people who live in them.
For South Florida homeowners considering an interior painting project in 2027, the forecast provides plenty of inspiration—and suggests that warmer, deeper and more distinctive colors will continue moving into the spotlight.
What Is Sherwin-Williams’ 2027 Colormix Forecast?
Sherwin-Williams describes Rewild as a collection built around creativity and experimentation. Instead of telling homeowners exactly which colors should be paired together, the 48 shades are intended to be mixed, layered and interpreted in different ways.
Emily Kantz, interior designer and lead color strategist for Colormix on the Sherwin-Williams Trendsight Team, explains in Sherwin-Williams’ coverage of the forecast that color has become increasingly personal. While people still want to understand what is trending, they don’t necessarily want trends to dictate exactly how their homes should look.
That idea is central to 2027 interior color trends: choosing colors based on how you want a room to feel rather than simply selecting whatever shade happens to be popular.
The three Rewild design stories offer different ways to approach that idea.
Revive: Heritage Colors and Timeless Character
Revive looks toward the past for inspiration, emphasizing craftsmanship, heritage, history and spaces that develop character over time.
Think warm woods, handcrafted furniture, vintage details, traditional architecture and paint colors that feel established rather than overly polished.
But this isn’t necessarily about creating a completely traditional home.
In discussing the forecast, Kantz describes the trend as a blending of past and present, where nostalgic influences can be paired with unexpected color to keep a room feeling current.
How to Use the Revive Trend in Your Home
For South Florida homes, Revive could work particularly well in:
- Dining rooms
- Home libraries and offices
- Entryways and foyers
- Bedrooms
- Built-in cabinetry
- Historic or Mediterranean-style homes
- Interior doors and architectural details
Instead of covering every surface in the same neutral, consider using a deeper wall color alongside warm wood, stone, natural fabrics or contrasting trim.
The result can feel collected and established without making the home feel dated.
Reignite: Bold Color Becomes Personal
While Revive takes inspiration from the past, Reignite focuses on energy, individuality and self-expression.
This is where some of the bolder 2027 paint color trends emerge.
Deep reds, jewel tones, dramatic greens and unexpected color combinations can all play a role. Sherwin-Williams describes the trend in terms of chromatic tension, tactile contrast and even “constructive chaos”—the idea that different colors, textures and forms don’t always need to match perfectly to work together.
Sherwin-Williams’ forecast also connects this shift with a move away from years of highly controlled minimalism and neutral interiors. Kantz notes that homeowners and designers are increasingly interested in spaces that feel personal, uplifting and emotionally engaging.
In other words, color is becoming part of a home’s identity rather than simply an accent.
How to Use Bold Paint Colors Without Overwhelming a Room
You don’t have to paint an entire home dark red or emerald green to embrace the Reignite trend.
A bold color can work beautifully on:
- A single room
- An accent wall
- Kitchen or bathroom cabinetry
- Built-in shelving
- Interior doors
- A powder room
- A dining room
- A home office
One of the biggest shifts we’re seeing in interior color is the idea that every room doesn’t have to use exactly the same palette.
Instead, individual spaces can have their own mood while maintaining continuity through flooring, trim, furnishings or a few repeated colors.
Reconnect: Earthy Paint Colors Inspired by Nature
Of the three 2027 color directions, Reconnect may be particularly easy to incorporate into South Florida homes.
Reconnect focuses on the relationship between our homes and the natural world, with colors influenced by materials such as soil, stone, wood, minerals and vegetation.
Rather than pale beige being the default “natural” color, this trend explores earth tones with considerably more depth and character.
Colors featured within the broader Rewild collection include shades such as:
Eminent Bronze
Universal Khaki
Perfect Greige
Clove
Roycroft Bronze Green
These aren’t necessarily traditional neutrals. Some lean green, brown, bronze or gray depending on the surrounding materials and lighting.
That complexity is part of their appeal.
Why Earthy Colors Work Well in South Florida
South Florida homes already have a strong visual connection with the outdoors.
Tropical landscaping, natural stone, wood finishes, water views and abundant sunlight can provide a natural backdrop for earthy paint colors.
Mossy greens, muted bronzes, warm browns and mineral-inspired neutrals can complement these elements while providing an alternative to the bright whites and cool grays that have dominated Florida interiors for years.
They can work especially well alongside:
- Natural wood
- Travertine and other stone
- Warm tile
- Woven textures
- Cream and off-white upholstery
- Brass and bronze finishes
- Indoor plants and tropical landscaping
Are Gray and White Paint Colors Going Out of Style in 2027?
Not necessarily—but they’re changing.
White, gray and neutral paint colors will always have a place in interior design. What is changing is the type of neutral homeowners are choosing.
Instead of stark white or cool gray throughout an entire home, 2027 paint trends are moving toward warmer and more complex neutrals with undertones of brown, green, bronze, clay and taupe.
Even darker gray shades are becoming more nuanced.
Sherwin-Williams includes Forged Steel among its Rewild Continuity Colors. Its subtle blue influence gives the charcoal shade additional dimension while maintaining the depth that makes dark gray so versatile.
For homeowners who aren’t ready for a dramatic red or deep green, shifting from a cool gray to a warmer, more dimensional neutral can be an easy way to update a room.
The 10 Rewild Continuity Colors
Within the full collection of 48 colors, Sherwin-Williams has identified 10 Continuity Colors.
Continuity Colors: Cordovan (a rich wine red), Red Barn, High Sierra (a dark gray), White Duck, Celery, Icicle, Dutch Tile Blue, Roycroft Bronze Green, Clove (a charcoal-brown), and Forged Steel (a blue-leaning charcoal).
These are shades the company believes can carry across different styles, spaces and applications rather than feeling tied to a short-lived trend.
That’s an important distinction when choosing paint.
A trending color can provide inspiration, but most homeowners don’t want to repaint their home every year. Choosing a shade with staying power allows you to introduce something current while still creating a room that can evolve with new furniture, artwork and décor.
Sherwin-Williams’ forecast suggests that cranberry and maroon tones, deep earthy greens, warm browns and dimensional charcoal shades could have particular longevity.
What Are the Biggest Interior Paint Color Trends for 2027?
Based on Sherwin-Williams’ Rewild forecast, several clear themes are emerging for 2027:
Warmer colors are continuing to replace cool neutrals. Browns, clays, bronze, khaki and warm off-whites bring more depth to interiors.
Deep green isn’t going anywhere. Moss, forest and bronze-green shades continue to bridge the gap between statement color and neutral.
Reds are becoming richer and moodier. Cranberry, oxblood, burgundy and maroon tones can create sophisticated, intimate rooms.
Homeowners are becoming more comfortable with color. Rather than reserving color for pillows and accessories, paint itself is increasingly becoming a defining design feature.
Rooms don’t have to match perfectly. Different spaces can have distinct personalities while still feeling connected.
Nature remains a major influence. Instead of generic “natural” beige, expect more complex colors inspired by soil, stone, vegetation, minerals and weathered materials.
How South Florida Lighting Can Change These Colors
One thing homeowners should keep in mind before choosing any trending paint color is natural light.
South Florida homes can receive intense sunlight throughout the day, and the same paint color can look dramatically different depending on the room.
A deep green might appear richer in a north-facing room but considerably lighter in direct afternoon sunlight. Warm neutrals can reveal stronger yellow, pink or brown undertones depending on the flooring and furnishings around them.
That’s why we recommend looking at paint samples in the actual space you’re planning to paint.
Observe the color during the morning, afternoon and evening before making a final decision. Also look at it next to permanent elements such as flooring, countertops, cabinetry and stone.
Should You Follow Paint Color Trends?
Paint trends should be used as inspiration, not rules.
One of the most interesting ideas behind Sherwin-Williams’ 2027 forecast is that homeowners are being encouraged to create their own combinations from the collection rather than follow a predetermined palette.
That’s good advice regardless of what’s trending.
The right paint color should complement your home’s architecture, lighting, flooring, furnishings and—most importantly—the way you want the room to feel.
If you love warm neutrals, there’s no reason to paint your living room burgundy simply because deeper reds are trending. But if you’ve been considering something more expressive, the 2027 forecast offers plenty of inspiration for moving beyond traditional white, beige and gray.
