Color Palette: Valspar 2025 Color of the Year - Encore
The 2025 Valspar Color of the Year is 8002-45G Encore! This beautiful navy blue share has a violet undertone that reads very rich in both physical and digital applications. Blues are always a winner in my book! Here’s what Valspar has to say about their choice for the new year:
“Blue is enjoying its comeback — its encore, if you will. Valspar® Encore is an anchoring shade that embodies constancy and confidence to let you create a joyful respite from the ebbs and flows of life.”
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 Encore!) my best suggestion is to take your phone to a paint store and compare color chips to these images. Happy creating!

I hope you enjoy checking these out and I would love to hear how they inspire you! Let me know which is your favorite and what you would use it for (interior decorating, wedding colors, branding, wardrobe, painting, etc.) in the comments.
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.
