New year, new paint trends!
With 2026 on the horizon, paint companies are releasing their highly-anticipated colours of the year.
This year is all about earthy, grounded hues that lean into rich greens and blues. To offset these bolder shades, there are also plenty of terracotta and warm brown tones for a lighter style.
These are all the 2026 paint colours of the year we know of so far.
