Behr's Color of the Year for 2024 is Cracked Pepper (PPU18-01), a soft black that can ground any space while remaining timeless. The color is an approachable segue into the paint dark side as it melds into practically any design style. "It's an anchor color that doesn't have to be reinvented," Sarah Fishburne, The Home Depot’s director of trend and design, tells House Beautiful.
Just like the seasoning it's named after, Cracked Pepper is a staple. Exclusively available at The Home Depot, Cracked Pepper makes an excellent paint choice for interiors and exteriors. Fishburne even has Cracked Pepper incorporated throughout her own brick home on the gutters and the interior doors.
