Color Palette: Behr 2025 Color of the Year - Rumors
The 2025 Behr Color of the Year is Rumors MQ1-15!
Behr’s 2025 Color of the Year, Rumors (MQ1-15), is a rich, deep red with subtle earthy undertones, striking a balance between bold energy and timeless sophistication. Its warm, grounded feel makes it a versatile choice, whether used to create a dramatic focal point or to add depth and elegance to a neutral palette.
A quick note about the color: Rumors appears darker in photos than it does in swatches or digital versions, including the one shown here. To ensure it’s the right fit for your space, be sure to test a sample before committing!
“Rumors is a modern take on the timeless red that creates an energetic appeal to make a lasting statement in a stunning way.”
Do you have a strong opinion about the 2025 color of the year?
I hope you enjoy this collection of color palettes, inspired by the brand new Valspar COTY for 2025: Encore! If these inspire you to create I would love to know. Leave me a comment below, tag me on Instagram or Facebook (@paperheartdesign), or send me a message!
PLEASE NOTE: These color palettes are created by hand selecting colors from the inspiration image. Not all colors included are specific paint colors. Because I am a graphic designer I include hex codes, which can be referenced for digital use. If you want to match a paint color (besides Rumors!) my best suggestion is to take your phone to a paint store and compare color chips to these images. Happy creating!

In an effort to foster a creatives community I’ve started a Facebook group called Art is a Record, the same name as this blog. I would love for you to join in the fun as we discuss creative living, projects, art, and life.
