This Dramatic Hue Is the Color of Summer, According to a Survey
Have you been opting for your phone's Do Not Disturb setting more often lately? If so, you're not alone. According to Pinterest's 2025 Summer Report, people are itching for a 'Digital Detox Summer,' meaning it's time to go touch grass, y'all. And while bringing grass inside isn't the most straightforward task, Pinterest users are still hoping to add more green to their lives, specifically regularly searching for the color 'Dill Green.'
Pinterest predicted the color dill green would be huge for summer back in January when the site published its 2025 Pinterest Palette report. Described as 'pickled perfection in a color,' dill green has been on the rise thanks to users' interests in pickling and pickle decor, the earthy aesthetic of the Terra Futura trend (Pinterest predicted in 2024 that Boomers and Gen Xers will focus more on sustainability), and the overall reaching back into the early 2000s for inspiration (that '70s-inspired dill hue was big in the aughts).
With users searching for book clubs, garden parties, summer crafting, and other tech-free outdoor activities, dill green is fully on the map and making its way into home aesthetics. The shade can be a fun pop of color in a light and airy space, like this accent wall in the sunny Chicago rental seen above, which is painted with Backdrop's Lawn Party.
Or, when paired with other darker tones, it could shift moody like this small dill green nook in a glam London remodel. Farrow & Ball's Green Smoke (No. 47) adds so much drama to the other deep blue color in the room.
Dill olive pairs perfectly with aesthetics ranging from farmhouse and cottagecore to mid-century modern and even dark academia. It all depends on how you style it.
Pinterest users are also searching for the 'Martha Stewart aesthetic' right now, which is all about embracing 'garden-to-table cooking, flower gardens, and fresh summer recipes, channeling the iconic tastemaker's lifestyle,' as the Pinterest Summer Report reads. And nothing says fresh quite like the herby color of dill!
If you're searching for ways to bring the feeling of being in nature into your home this summer, give dill green a try. It's fresh and earthy, inspiring you to put the phone down and reconnect with Mother Earth, making it easy to do so while the weather allows.
