Earthy Neutrals Are the New Gray

While cool grays are still used in some new home construction, we invite you to think beyond the gray, so to speak. This summer, think clay, sand, and mushroom tones. These colors bring warmth and softness to your walls and cabinetry while still giving off a clean, modern look.

Warm Whites and Creams

Bright white is out. Creamy whites with a buttery undertone are trending for walls, trim, and even kitchen cabinets. They pair perfectly with wood accents and brass hardware for a cozy, high-end finish.

Muted Greens & Dusty Blues

If you want a pop of color without going full statement wall, muted greens (like sage or olive) and dusty blues are chef’s kiss. These shades look amazing on kitchen islands, bathroom vanities, and front doors.

Terracotta and Blush

Soft terracotta and muted blush are showing up in tile backsplashes, accent walls, and even entryway decor. These trending colors bring a laid-back desert feel that’s relaxed and on-trend with new construction homes in some communities.
