SERENE IN GREEN
Depending on where you shop, the 2026 Colour of the Year will be the same tranquil shade of green, but with three unique names: Sage Slate, Surrender and Warm Eucalyptus.
WHY IT’S TRENDING
Among the trend drivers that inspired this colour choice is that of mindful living — slowing down time and injecting restorative design to appreciate small moments like gathering at the table.
– Sue Kim, Valspar® Director of Colour Marketing
In the coming year, we will redefine our notion of neutral hues. Going beyond the classified colour term, neutral refers to colours that set a grounding and inviting mood with the warmth that calms our senses.
HOW TO STYLE
Indoor and outdoor boundaries continue to blur, which will emphasize nature-inspired, restorative colours while curating personal styles. When styling, think organically, with ceramics, wood, bio-based, sandy, gilded gold, etc. Light a candle or two for added warmth and nod to another sense — your sense of smell.
COORDINATING COLOURS
Bring in colours that work together with our Colour of the Year to bridge the natural world from ground to sky. These include grey influences, blues with undercurrents of greens and soft neutrals.
