Room with Hazelnut Crunch Wall

2026 COLOR TRENDS

WELCOME

How should your home make you feel? This question was the inspiration behind the design of our color palettes and Color of the Year for 2026.

In a fast-paced world, we’re all looking for spaces that bring us comfort and restore a sense of balance. Choosing colors for these spaces shouldn’t be a challenge, which is why we’ve created two palettes of harmonizing colors ready to transform your home. Whether you find your calm in cool and quietly colored spaces or you’re more drawn to the comfort of earthier hues, we have a color just for you.
