California Paints has selected Ocean Melody 0499 as its 2025 Color of the Year. The warm, serene blue is part of a trend palette that draws inspiration from nature’s elegance.

Ocean Melody is a versatile color that can be used in a variety of settings. It is particularly well-suited for creating spaces that promote balance and well-being. The color’s warm undertones make it a perfect choice for pairing with natural materials like wood and stone.

In addition to Ocean Melody, California Paints has also curated a supporting trend palette. The palette includes rich terracotta hues, muted greens, soft creams and deep earth tones. These colors are designed to complement Ocean Melody and create a cohesive look.

"Ocean Melody 0499 is more than just a color; it’s a reflection of the spaces we want to create in 2025—comfortable, inviting and inspired by the natural world," said Daniele Doerge, Brand Manager for California Paints. "As part of ICP, we take pride in setting the tone for design trends that resonate with our customers’ lifestyles. Ocean Melody embodies the tranquility and timelessness that today’s homeowners and professionals are seeking."
