Celery green: Sherwin-Williams' Color of the Year 2027

X Facebook WhatsApp

Green tones continue to dominate interior palettes, but Sherwin-Williams is taking a subtler route for 2027. The paint maker, together with HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, has announced Celery as its Color of the Year for 2027: a gentle, herbaceous green with faint yellow undertones that reads fresh without feeling too vivid.

Unlike the richer, moodier greens that have been popular in recent seasons, Celery (SW 6421) offers a more restrained, nature-adjacent option. Its softened yellow-green quality adds warmth while keeping a light, airy presence, making it an easy way to introduce color without overpowering a room.

“Celery was chosen as the 2027 Color of the Year because it reflects today’s priorities: wellness, balance, and connection,” says Ashley Banbury, color marketing manager at Sherwin-Williams. “Homeowners and designers are increasingly prioritizing wellness at home, seeking soothing environments that support mental health and overall well-being.”

Picked by the Sherwin-Williams Trendsight Team, Celery is a key hue in the brand’s 2027 Colormix Trend Forecast, titled Rewild. The wider forecast highlights a shift toward interiors that feel lived-in and comfortable rather than overly staged, favoring colors inspired by the natural world without leaning on literal botanical motifs.

What makes Celery appealing is the equilibrium it strikes between calming and energizing. The yellow tones prevent it from feeling too cool or muted, while the understated green base provides a gentler alternative to highly saturated shades. That balance allows it to work in contemporary and transitional schemes as well as in more traditional settings.

To support Celery, Sherwin-Williams put together a coordinating palette that spans earthy neutrals, deeper greens, and bolder accent choices. White Flour and Woven Wicker offer neutral backdrops, while Artichoke, Cocoon, and Georgian Bay bring more shadow and contrast into the mix.

For those seeking stronger pairings, Kirsch Red and Plum Brown introduce warmth and complexity, while Potentially Purple and Cosmos provide softer, unexpected contrasts. The collection also incorporates Minwax Pickled Oak—the wood-stain brand’s own 2027 Color of the Year—extending the nature-oriented theme into wood finishes.

“[Celery] shines as part of a thoughtfully curated palette of rich, grounding hues designed to layer depth and dimension,” Banbury notes.

Rather than making a loud announcement, Sherwin-Williams’ pick for 2027 suggests that a relatively understated tint can still meaningfully change a room’s mood.

Celery is sold as SW 6421 at Sherwin-Williams stores and as HGSW6421 through HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams at Lowe’s.
