Color Trends for 2023
Colors have the ability to set the tone of a room, project, or product. They can evoke certain emotions and feelings, and even be used to convey a certain message. That’s why it’s important for designers to stay up-to-date on the latest color trends. Here are four color trends that we predict will be big in 2023.
Dirty Pastels
We’re seeing a shift away from clean and crisp colors, and towards dirty and muted colors. These “dirty pastels” are created by combining complementary colors, resulting in new and unexpected color palettes.

New Wave Y2K
This palette is inspired by the youth culture of the early 2000s. It’s full of vibrant colors, fluorescents, and metallics. Think of the bright clothing often seen in music videos from this era.

Palettes of the 70s
The 1970s were known for their use of bold and bright colors. This trend is making a comeback, with designers looking to TV shows like Acapulco for inspiration.

Creative Grunge
Grunge design is typically characterized by its use of dark colors like black, grey, and dark green. But we’re predicting that 2023 will see a rise in “creative grunge” – designs that still have that edgy feel but incorporate pops of color as well.
