The 2024 Pinterest color palette
Before we deep-dive into the Pinterest color palette, we had to speak to the pros— starting with Pinterest's Head of Home, Matt Siberry.
"As the ultimate destination for home inspiration, we’ve created our very own colour palette inspired by our Pinterest Predicts trends report for 2024," he says. "We're here to help people plan which colours to shop and use for their homes, and this is the first time we’ve ever released color palette predictions."
When it comes to translating these tones to home spaces, color expert and content editor for Livingetc , Aditi Sharma Maheshwari, recommends leaning into a few tones in particular.
"The Pinterest palette is wonderfully wide-ranging and has something for everyone," she says. "I can see the Desert Orange, Moss Green, and Mocha Brown playing out well in interiors, with the Gummy Pink adding a pop of color.
"These colors are in line with the current mood across both fashion and interiors, and can create the perfect, on-trend environment."

"We’ve seen warmer colors being top of the small space color trends for 2024, with designers leaning toward shades ideal for making homes feel cozy and inviting," our trends writer Eve Smallman says. "Desert Orange, in all its hues, will do all this and more."

"At its full saturation, Gummy Pink is a super-vibrant shade, so you wouldn’t want it to dominate the space," Eve explains. "Think of it as an accent to use with art prints and soft furnishings, or lean into the pastel and light versions for a full bedding set."
Pinterest's Head of Home, Matt Siberry, agrees.
"Those looking for a more subtle approach can flush their rooms with seasonal pink tulips or blush-toned candles," he says.
