The year is more than halfway over, and we’ve already experienced several interior design trends. Bookshelf wealth, a revival of the Nancy Meyers aesthetic, and color drenching have all shown up in big ways. However, a more subtle trend influenced HGTV Home’s 2025 color of the year.
Quietude – A Light Green/Blue is the 2025 Color of the Year
HGTV Home’s paint collection for 2025 is inspired by “quiet luxury,” a trend that seeks to create an elevated home that isn’t over the top. It focuses on subtle, high-quality elements that bring a sense of calm and sophistication to a space. Quietude, their color of the year, is a calming blue-green shade that embodies this concept.
Quietude resembles a light to mid-tone mint color and gives a spa-like feel, perfect for the bathroom. It’s ideal for those who prefer cool-toned paint or a subtle splash of color.
More From this Color Collection
Quietude is one of the many shades available in HGTV Home’s Color Collection of the Year, which they’ve dubbed “Naturally Refined.” This color palette is intended to work together and includes warm and cool tones and shades of white, brown, yellow, red, blue, and green.

- Nomadic Desert, a light warm brown.
- Stucco, a warm, tannish white.
- Delft, a cool blue with a hint of gray.
- Rocky River, a cool green that’s just a few shades darker than Quietude.

- Nutshell, a brown with a warm undertone, almost resembling a deep purple.
What Do We Think of HGTV Home’s 2025 Color of the Year?
We love HGTV Home’s Naturally Refined color collection for 2025, but Quietude is far from our favorite. While this shade will surely bring a calming, spa-like feel, it also feels a little retro and, from our point of view, doesn’t inspire quiet luxury.
Instead, our favorites from the collection include Nutshell HGSW6040, Stucco HGSW7569, Spiced Cider HGSW7702, and Nomadic Desert HGSW6107.
