Most Popular Colors by State for 2023

Interior design enthusiasts like us live for trends and love to know important things like the latest and greatest styles and the Pantone Color of the Year (by the way, it’s magenta!). That’s why our team dives deep into Google Trends insights to discover the most popular color by state. Upon first glance, black and purple appear to be topping the list across the country, which leads us to believe that color preferences are trending towards the bold and dramatic.

Social media may be to thank for influencing what our favorite color is, as it is our personal color theory that what floods our feeds inevitably seeps into our subconscious and manifests as what we come to know and love. Our handy infographic demonstrates that the different colors sweeping the nation are a little darker and moodier than the usual, and we are here for it. Whether you want to see these as paint colors or furniture and decor colors, there’s no denying that we are going in a fun direction.

Most Popular Living Room Color

For those who tend to spend the majority of their time in the living room, you may be surprised to learn that most states chose the color green for their space, with previously popular beige trailing as perhaps the least favorite, since New Jersey was the only state to select it. As the color of good luck, it’s no wonder that green has been slowly working its way into our hearts. Even the trendsetter state, New York, is bringing green to the living room.

Connected to nature and money, green is an auspicious choice to surround yourself with. We tend to associate green with growth, health and generosity, and we’ve been seeing the full spectrum of this hue throughout homes.

Most Popular Bedroom Color
When we think of bedroom color schemes, we tend to deck our retreats with peaceful pastel hues or calming cool colors that make us feel tranquil. Taking that into consideration, it comes as a shock that green once again is the popular choice. As we previously mentioned, there are many positive associations with green, since it is an energizing and revitalizing color.
Second in line is white, which is a much more predictable choice. With plenty of variations, you can select from a wide range of options to achieve a sense of serenity. In addition to almost every neutral, you’ll find a few bolder picks on the list, including yellow, pink and purple.

Most Popular Kitchen Cabinet Color
Neutral colors typically top the list of what you’ll see in the kitchen, and this year is no exception. White cabinets are the ultimate favorite, and it’s no wonder. We love a light, bright and airy space to cook, eat and entertain in.
While you may not see the color red on here, you will find that the color blue is second in line. Whether dark blue or light blue, some of us are taking chances and spreading our wings by taking things up a notch and experimenting with color. We’ve also seen a lot of two-tone kitchens, where the island and the perimeter cabinetry will contrast to keep things fun and interesting.
