To this point we have covered the following compnaies in our 2025 Colour of the Year series, PANTONE®, Benjamin Moore, and Behr, Sherwin-Williams. In this blog let's look at another paint producer's choice for colour of the year, Glidden.
Glidden's Colour of the Year for 2025: Purple Basil (PPG1046-7), a warm, high-impact hue that embodies the transformative power of color. (Glidden, 2024)
Purple Basil represents a growing appreciation for self-discovery and self-expression, aligning with the rise of maximalism across various industries, including design, fashion, and consumer goods. (Real Simple, 2024) This rich, energetic color encourages homeowners to embrace bold choices in their living spaces. (Glidden, 2024)
Interior Walls and Trim: Purple Basil can transform any room into an aesthetic "jewelry box." Consider pairing it with abstract or vintage-style wallpaper, or use it for trim, ceilings, accent walls, or wainscoting. (Glidden, 2024) For added drama, "color drench" a room by applying Purple Basil to walls, ceilings, bookcases, and trim, varying the sheen to highlight key features. (Architectural Digest, 2024)
Interior Cabinetry: This hue adds depth to a bathroom vanity, especially when paired with mixed metallic hardware and lighting. In the kitchen, Purple Basil on cabinets can create a sleek look with stainless countertops or an earthy, modern space with natural stone counters. (The Spruce, 2024)
Exterior Accents: Make a bold statement by applying Purple Basil to your front door, shutters, window boxes, or mailboxes. It can also be used on architectural trim to add a modern nod to historical designs. (Real Simple, 2024)
For homeowners in Windsor, Ontario, Purple Basil offers a vibrant option to enhance both interior and exterior spaces. Its warm undertones complement the architectural diversity of the area, making it suitable for various home styles. (Glidden, 2024)
Glidden's selection of Purple Basil as the 2025 Color of the Year encourages homeowners to move beyond neutral tones and embrace the transformative power of bold color choices. Whether used sparingly or extensively, Purple Basil can bring energy and warmth to any space. (Glidden, 2024)
