2025 Colors of the year: Our insights from IBS

We’ve just returned from the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Las Vegas, where we studied – along with 81,000 other homebuilding professionals – the future of home design in a spectacular display of color and innovation.

At On Point Custom Homes, we’re excited to share these insights, as they align perfectly with our commitment to creating exceptional custom homes that reflect both current trends and timeless appeal. When it comes to “Color of the Year,” nearly every paint manufacturer has a different opinion, and while there may not be a right answer, we certainly enjoy the conversations that erupt from these selections.

Over 81,000 Professionals attended the International Builders Show in Las Vegas this year.

Breaking Down 2025’s Color Innovations

We’re particularly excited about Sherwin-Williams’ revolutionary approach to color selection. Their new four-capsule system resonates with our philosophy of providing thoughtfully curated design options. Rather than identifying just one color, Sherwin-Williams has grouped collections together:

Paradox Collection
“Delve into the mystical blues, meditative midtones, and compelling chromas that connect us to the land, to creating things by hand, and to a richly personal epic narrative.”

We’ve seen firsthand how these lighter, whimsical tones transform spaces. One of our recent builds features a stunning great room where we utilized these softer hues to create an atmosphere that’s both sophisticated and welcoming—a hallmark of our design approach.

Chrysalis Collection
“Capture the essence of peaceful, intentional living and transformative future thinking in a sanctuary of colors inspired by wood tones, sifting sands, and freshly turned earth.”

This earth-toned collection perfectly complements our commitment to bringing the outside in. These natural hues create a seamless transition between indoor spaces and the lush surrounding landscape. With the increased popularity we’ve seen with outdoor living spaces, colors from this part of the spectrum visually improve the transition from outside to inside.

Wellspring Collection

“Embrace a mindset of openness and belonging with a collection of warm neutrals, sheltering deeps, and warm-hearted colors that nurture and nourish.”

For clients seeking to make bold statements, this vibrant collection offers exciting possibilities. We like how Persimmon (SW 6339) and Chartreuse (SW 0073) have potential for striking accent walls that draw attention to detail and finish.

Kindred Collection
“Conquer the conventional with a palette of dopamine-drenched colors that defy expectations: electric brights, grounding neutrals, and candy-coated accents.”

These subtle, sophisticated tones align beautifully with our modern builds. In our latest Heights project, we’ve employed these minimalist shades to create serene, uncluttered spaces that exemplify contemporary luxury.
