Colour alert: The mood of March

14 Mar 2025

Color Marketing Group (CMG) has unveiled the defining hue of March 2025 – Forever-Green. This deep green exudes strength, tranquillity and a modern connection to nature. We’ve gathered inspiring ways to incorporate this bold yet sophisticated shade into your next project using Resene paints and wallpapers.

Forever-Green, CMG North America's key colour for 2025, is a deep, near-black green with a yellow-green influence, evoking the mystery and tranquillity of shaded woodlands. Bold yet calming, it symbolises strength, resilience and nature’s enduring beauty. This modern take on green goes beyond traditional associations, making a striking statement in design.

You can use Forever-Green to add depth and sophistication to spaces in designs, whether through painted walls, statement furniture or plush textiles. It brings an opulent, grounded feel while maintaining a fresh, contemporary edge.

Here are two ideas for this colour trend using Resene Forest Green and Resene Wallpaper Collection 39659-3 that you can try: 

Create a grounded space in bedrooms and residential settings with earthy hues.
