POPULAR SHERWIN WILLIAMS PAINT COLORS

Paint is truly one of the easiest and cheapest room transformations in our world of home decor. It can transform a space in one day with a little work and money.  It can change the mood of a room instantly.

It's like magic, but it is so hard to decide when there are hundreds of colors to choose from at Sherwin Williams.

That is why I decided to write a post about the top 12 most popular Sherwin Williams paint colors for your interior and I wrote another post about the popular Sherwin Williams exterior colors too.

Update: This post has been updated on January 21, 2022, to bring you the most popular Sherwin Williams paint colors for this year.

POPULAR SHERWIN WILLIAMS COLORS

When I came up with this idea I figured the best way to learn would be to call Sherwin Williams stores all over the United States and ask what are the top-selling paint colors at their store.

My husband, Marty, and I contacted stores in Orlando, Atlanta, Boston, St. Louis, Seattle, Phoenix, Los Angles, and Tallahassee.  Tallahassee is the location I physically went to and spoke with.

Now, first, let me say that the Sherwin Williams employees at these locations were so friendly and helpful!  I was amazed at how well they knew their products.  They all would start naming paint colors from memory.

They would say, well let's see, how about Accessible Beige, Sea Salt, Tradewind, In the Navy, Repose Gray, Tricorn Black, Alabaster and so on.  You get the picture.

I was surprised when I found many colors that were the same all over America like Repose Gray, Accessible Beige, Alabaster, and Pure White.

Now it is 2022 and we have been working to find those colors that are trending across America again. Here is a list of the most popular paint colors for 2022.

Popluar Sherwin Williams Paint Colors 2022

These colors are in no particular order. They are the top 10 colors we found when doing our research.

• Aggreable Gray
• Repose Gray
• Alabaster
• Pure White
• Snowbound

Green seems to be a trending color this year based on the fact that many paint companies picked some form of green for their color of the year.

Sherwin Williams has a gorgeous green color of the year called Evergreen Fog, SW 9130. If you want color and green is an option try Evergreen Fog or go to my popular Sherwin Williams green paint colors post.

Now if you want to look at what is trending in years past see the colors below. Notice how many of them are still trending. That tells me they are more timeless colors which means if you use a timeless color then you will be in style for many years to come.

We try to ask for suggestions in different color categories for example what is your most popular white, gray, beige, black, blue. For this list, I placed like colors together starting with white and ending with black colors.

There are lots of other colors that are not on this list but I figured 12 was a good number to start with except for the colors of 2020. We could not exclude a couple so we added them.

Also, as a side note, you might have noticed that Pure White is missing from the photo above.  Unfortunately, they were out of the paint sample at the Tallahassee location.

However, if you click on any of the colors in the bullet list above, it will take to the Sherwin Williams site where you can see the color.

PAINT COLOR TIPS

If you are a play it safe kind of person try Accessible Beige, Agreeable Gray, Repose Gray, and Mindful Gray.

But if you want something for your walls that is timeless and everything matches it go with Alabaster white.

Now if you love nautical decor try Tradewind, In the Navy, naval, and Sea Salt.  Sea Salt also is a great color for modern front doors and farmhouse decor too. Here are more farmhouse paint colors at Life on Summerhill.
