The biggest – and growing – trend: Well-Being. From mental health, to increasing our exposure to sunlight, deep rest and nourishing sleep, to understanding how the color we select direct our ability to live a soft and vibrant life where we live, work and learn, because we are beginning to realize Colors influence us unconsciously and physiologically.
Color palettes are answering the call. Forecasted for 2023 and beyond are muted colors that inspire us toward comfort and connection, two things that research tells are two of the most important things we need to inspire health and wellbeing. As well, those colors had better also bring us closer to Nature, and these color palettes do that with warm, nature-inspired colors we need!
For 2023, we show how these color palettes trending across all varieties of companies are all leaning in to answer the same needs: warmth, communication, comfort and rest. The beautiful colors within this palette help us to ground ourselves out of the distractions of an ever busy world. These colors form palettes across the rows allowing any of the colors to become the background, and the others to be the supporting cast for the story the bodies need to have told to them.


Global Color Palette for 2023 by Color Guild International shows muted colors of warmth, serenity and Nature: everything we are looking to lead us to comfort and health. Palettes can be formed by selecting the colors across the rows and using them in the proper design to inspire beautiful outcomes.
After much that is unsettling and out of our control, our environments are being called upon more than ever to help us navigate toward vitality and empowerment. The first step: comfort. The warm hug of Prosperity, the soft atmospheric restfulness of Abstract Idea, placed strategically in our spaces allow the spaces to become “the wind beneath our wings” so we can experience better living.
