Every year, we get a front-row seat to how Sudbury paints its homes. We see firsthand how homeowners use colours from the Benjamin Moore colour Collections in living rooms, kitchens, and beyond. From the shades chosen to the finishes homeowners trust most, the data tells a story — and 2025 had a very clear one.
Welcome to Barrydowne Paint’s 2025 Wrapped, where we break down the most popular paint colours, finishes, and project trends seen across Sudbury this year.
In 2025, Sudbury homeowners leaned into comfort, warmth, and timeless choices. While bold colours certainly made appearances, the year was defined by whites, soft neutrals, and finishes that are easy to live with.
Here’s what stood out most.
Our Barrydowne Paint Colour of the Year for 2025 was OC-65 Chantilly Lace — and it wasn’t even close. As one of the most popular whites in the Benjamin Moore paint collection, it proved just how much Sudbury homeowners trust classic, timeless Benjamin Moore colours.
This crisp yet versatile white appeared again and again in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and beyond. It’s important to note that whites naturally show up more often because they’re commonly used on trim, ceilings, and doors. But even with that in mind, one thing is undeniable:
Sudbury homes are very white right now.
Chantilly Lace proved to be the go-to backdrop for modern, clean, and flexible interiors throughout the year.
Here’s where things got interesting…
The Top 5 most popular Benjamin Moore paint colours sold in Sudbury in 2025 were:
Plot twist: they were all white.
From warm and creamy to soft and subtle, white was the clear favourite this year. And while that might sound predictable, the undertones tell a more nuanced story.
Just outside the Top 5, sliding into the 6th most popular colour, was HC-172 Revere Pewter — a longtime neutral favourite that confirms Sudbury’s love for warm, adaptable shades.
When we looked closer at the whites chosen most often in 2025, one trend stood out:
Sudbury leaned warm.
Creamy, soft whites edged out crisp, cool-toned whites as homeowners gravitated toward spaces that felt inviting, comfortable, and lived-in. The popularity of White Dove, Swiss Coffee, and Simply White shows a clear preference for warmth over stark contrast.
Once we filtered out whites, beiges, greys, and blacks we finally saw Sudbury’s personality shine through.
The Top 5 non-neutral paint colours of 2025 were:
2. 461 Rosepine
These shades were most often used in feature walls, offices, bathrooms, and statement spaces.
A standout moment? HC-154 Hale Navy climbed all the way to the 21st most sold colour overall in 2025 — a classic, confident choice that proves bold doesn’t have to mean trendy.
The Benjamin Moore Colour of the Year doesn’t just make headlines in Sudbury — it actually makes it onto walls.
In 2025, Sudbury homeowners didn’t just follow the Benjamin Moore Colour of the Year trends— they embraced them early:
The takeaway? Sudbury homeowners have great taste — and great timing.
If 2025 had a comeback story, it belonged to green — especially within the Benjamin Moore paint colour lineup.
From soft sages to deep forest tones, green quietly but confidently returned to Sudbury homes. We saw it used in kitchens, offices, bedrooms, and accent spaces, offering a grounded, timeless alternative to grey.
Some of the standout Benjamin Moore green paint colours included:
461 Rosepine HC-114 Saybrook Sage 462 Vintage Vogue AF-480 Boreal Forest CC-550 October Mist HC-188 Essex Green 630 Martha's Vine Yard 1484 Ashwood Moss 2144-40 Soft Fern 2041-10 Hunter Green
Green’s return signals a shift toward nature-inspired, calming interiors — and we expect this trend to grow in 2026.
No surprises here.
The living room claimed the title of most painted room of 2025. As the heart of the home, it saw the most refreshes, re-dos, and redesigns — often featuring warm whites, soft neutrals, or bold accent walls.
When it came to finishes, eggshell was the clear winner.
Easy to live with and easy to love, eggshell offered the perfect balance of durability and softness, making it the go-to finish for walls throughout 2025.
