If you want to refresh your home this year, or plan a little reno or redecoration, you’ve probably been dreaming up colour schemes. We could all use a little inspiration, and our good friend Pinterest is here to help with just that.
The social media platform has dropped the official 2025 Pinterest Palette just in time. The palette is inspired by its 2025 Pinterest Predicts Trends, which was released at the end of last year. Read on to learn more about the five fun and fresh paint colours Pinterest says will be the trendiest in 2025.
Cherry Red
The unexpected red theory, aka adding pops of red to a mismatching space, proved big in 2024. Well, turns out red is just beginning to have its moment. Cherry Red is catching on in popularity, from your nails to your feature walls.
How to use it: Paint a feature wall cherry red or add red accessories like chairs, lights or throw pillows to a neutral space. Red accent furniture can be bold and sophisticated, or romantic and feminine, depending on how they are used. Dare to embrace red to its fullest? Drench your power room in Cherry Red walls for ultimate queen energy.

Butter Yellow
Soft, gentle and warm; butter yellow brings coziness and comfort to any room in the house. The colour is inspired by Pinterest trends like Cutecore and Surreal Soires, which involve dreamlike landscapes and contrasting textures.
How to use it: A butter yellow wall paint can be ideal for a child’s room or family play space, but it can also make a kitchen a lot dreamier. Or, add Butter Yellow blankets and throws to your bedroom for a cheery yet subtle look.
Aura Indigo
Purple, pearly hues and lavender haze accessories continue trending in 2025. Pinterest defines this look as lilac but with an edge, as it adds instant mood and beauty to a space that craves a bit of drama.
How to use it: There’s something magical about an Aura Indigo ensuite (complete with a crystal chandelier over the tub). However, you can also create whimsical bedrooms and living rooms with a colourful Aura Indigo feature wall, or soft throws and accessories.

Dill Green
If you’re obsessed with pickles, you aren’t alone — Pinterest users love them so much that they’re beginning to decorate their space with tributes. This deeper green hue adds a natural colour to your space that embodies the outdoors, no pickling required.
How to use it: This colour is ideal for a kitchen island or backsplash when paired with natural wood elements, but it’s also a grounding colour for common living spaces and entryways. If you’re looking for a less dramatic effect, invest in some green dinnerware, a table runner or vases instead to punch up your eating space.
Alpine Oat
Chantilly Lace is nice, but according to Pinterest, Alpine Oat is taking over as the new neutral in 2025. Cozy and chic with a hint of boho, this shade makes a great base to layer with other colours as you redefine your living space.
How to use it: Paint walls Alpine Oat for a cozy, latte-inspired feel, or search for furniture and accessories in this colour. It can easily add to a romantic bedroom or modern living room, especially when you pair it with brown and cream hues.
