As one chapter closes and another begins, let your home reflect both comfort and change. We love highlighting the color announcements each year as a way to introduce refreshing change into the home. The 2026 colors lead that evolution. It’s a mix of distinct, expressive, and ‘made for everyone’ colors.
Why Color?
Color is powerful. Some hues wake us up, others help us unwind; certain families are linked to lower stress or a boost in creativity. And taste varies—social feeds prove it whenever “Color of the Year” is announced. For 2026, we’re focusing on the paint brands, since paint is one of the quickest ways to change how a space feels.
The Colors of 2026
Sherwin Williams
This year’s selection is a stunning neutral. Universal Khaki offers timeless appeal, due to its ability to be both tailored and approachable. A beige-tan color, it will warm up a room, featuring soft green-gray undertones. When it comes to home design, you’ll see it as the foundational paint color–a backdrop that won’t overpower the space.
Window Treatments: Warm neutrals are an ideal choice for window treatments in 2026. They pair easily and blend well. From draperies and roman shades, to woven wood shades and rollers, we expect the beige-tan family to be one of the year’s most popular color-ways.
Benjamin Moore
Brown is having a well-deserved moment in this year’s rich selection of Silhouette. It’s introducing lived-in warmth, the result of being both grounded and balanced. The velvety nature of this color can feel dark, but when applied in an area of sun and light, it feels refreshing–with depth. We look forward to seeing accent walls and dark wood tones, inspired by the richness of Silhouette.
Window Treatments: Dark window treatments make a dramatic statement at the window, with wood-toned shutters, woven wood shades and drapery panels easily showcasing organic colors. We expect to see variations of the brown color family influencing the fabrics and textiles in the coming year.
Behr
A smoky jade, Hidden Gem is calm, yet captivating. A jewel-tone color, it lives in the green color family with undertones of teal and soft gray. Hidden Gem gives off velvety elegance, while it makes a room feel comfortable and personal. Bedrooms and bathrooms will wear this color well, but expect to see it throughout homes in decor accents, upholstery and artwork.
Window Treatments: When you want color at the window, you simply can’t go wrong with jewel-tones. Both solid fabrics and patterned textiles will use this color to enrich the look–enhanced by intricate detail and aesthetic feel. An easy fit for draperies, romans and roller shades, create art at the window with this charming selection.
Valspar
Inviting a calming presence into your interiors, Warm Eucalyptus is a naturally restorative soft green, sage-like with quiet gray undertones. As homeowners look to bring color into their home, without wanting to overwhelm the space, they are relying on soft greens. There is a powerful statement happening in home design with green–kitchen cabinets, laundry rooms, home office built-ins–interior design can’t seem to get enough of this soothing hue.
Window Treatments: In some circles, green–especially soft green–is considered a neutral, making it an ideal choice for window treatments. When it comes to draperies, we find that clients love all shades of green, in both solids and patterned fabrics. For roman shades and rollers, we predict botanical prints will largely contribute to creating a personal look at the window with fabrics.
PPG
Both grounded and upscale, Warm Mahogany is described as quietly bold, with lasting stability. A deep brownish-red, this color feels warm and luxurious. It’s a color that homeowners can use in color-drenching–the act of painting every wall, plus the ceiling, the same color. Warm Mahogany carries dramatic presence, a beautiful accent in decor and furnishings alike.
Window Treatments: A member of the red family, it won’t be the number one requested color for window treatments. But, when it IS chosen, it is undeniably gorgeous. Because of the brown undertones, this shade does feel more accepted at the window, especially as an accent in patterned fabrics. When fabrics are textured, this color offers sophisticated charm. When we design window treatments within the red color family, the solids are typically used for draperies and roller shades, while patterned fabrics are popular for roman shades.
WGSN & Coloro
Composed and confident, this year’s color invites optimistic vision and contagious energy into design. Transformative Teal has been described as a modern classic with an uplifting presence. This fusion of blue-green has created an invigorating teal that will be adorning artwork, decor and accents in the home.
Window Treatments: This color is pure luxury in design. Offering elegance and delicacy, its refined presence will show up in specialty fabrics for a high-end finish.
