Paint company PPG & Glidden have announced Limitless as their color of the year 2024. Limitless is a honey beige shade that offers infinite design and styling possibilities for interiors and exteriors. The subdued, sophisticated, and calming color is a shift toward our desire for warmer and less saturated colors.
Together with the Color of the Year, PPG has also created three color palettes with forty complementary hues. When Limitless is combined with the colors from these color palettes, it feels warm and soothing but also curated and elegant. The collection tells the story of how cultural undercurrents are shifting toward optimism, creativity, and introspection.
“Limitless is bold enough to serve as a leading, primary color, yet has the essence of a neutral to act in a supporting role,” said Ashley McCollum, PPG marketing manager, and global color expert, Architectural Coatings. “In the architectural space, we anticipate that it will rapidly become one of newest neutrals due to its versatility.”

“Around the globe, we’re seeing a movement from the cooler, deeply saturated tones to lighter, warmer shades of reds, yellows, and beiges,” said Vanessa Peterson, PPG global color styling leader, Industrial Coatings. “For product designers looking to differentiate and embrace trending, mellow shades, Limitless has endless applications to lend an air of modernity, leaning from polished to playful.”
