PPG Announces 2025 Color of the Year for Glidden Spray Paint

October 23, 2024

PPG announced Brick Red as the GLIDDEN® paint by PPG Spray Paint Color of the Year, a complementary color to the brand’s 2025 Color of the Year, Purple Basil (PPG1046-7). Glidden color experts selected Brick Red, a rich and inviting red, as it radiates energy and leans into the idea of “go big and go bold,” inviting consumers to embrace the transformative power of color. 

Brick Red is an extension of the Glidden brand’s color trends story, capturing the diversity of nature in its 2025 color trends palette that mirrors the beauty of the sky and the earth. When paired with Purple Basil, a hue that strikes a balance of calming blues and energetic reds, the two colors create a harmonious, warm setting. The intensity of the pair’s deep, saturated colors allows them to stand out without clashing, providing a sophisticated and grounded palette.

“We’re empowering consumers with the freedom to choose a bold color and giving them the tools to complete the look of their room or project,” said Ashley McCollum, PPG color expert, Glidden brand. “Brick Red evokes a rare sense of luxury and sophistication that easily adapts to both contemporary and traditional homes.”  

Cool tones have long dominated the color space, but color trends are now shifting to warmer, cozier shades. Glidden color experts have identified a key microtrend that homeowners are less concerned about choosing colors based on resale value and instead opting for colors that bring them joy. According to McCollum, Brick Red accents make a space feel enveloping and inviting, making it ideal for areas to relax or entertain in an elegant setting.

In exterior settings, furniture, planters and other items accented with Brick Red blend harmoniously into natural surroundings and earthy landscapes with a refined contrast against greenery or wood.

“In this new era of creativity and change, people are more comfortable leaning into the world of color,” said McCollum. “We are starting to see unmatched desire from consumers to express their personality in whatever way makes them happy and helps them to discover a deeper sense of self-identity and connection to their environment.” 

Glidden Max Flex and Glidden Master Finish All Surface interior/exterior paint and primer spray paints easily apply to wood, metal, plastic, and glass surfaces. They are formulated to create ultradurable finishes that dry within five minutes and are accessible for both experienced and first-time DIYers.
