The new year means turning over a new leaf, or color, to refresh your home’s aesthetic. The 2026 colors are here with just the right vibe to start the year off right. Take a look at the variety of hues to find one that is right for you.
Why Color Matters
When you think of color, add in these elements: mood, mindfulness, and emotion. These are all influenced by how your home looks and feels. Choosing a palette is about reading the room (of your home) and deciding how you want to feel, as well as how others will feel, inside the space. With the 2026 colors, we will outline some of top brands with their choices for this year and include some improvements you can choose for your window treatments to complement these colors. A color change can make a big overall difference in how a room (and home) feels.
The 2026 Colors
Behr Paint: Hidden Gem
This smoky green is in, bringing a sense of calm, yet austere quality to your home’s color palette. Here, with Hidden Gem, we have a mix of subtle gray layered with teal with a smooth finish. Invite warmth and comfort into your space without compromising the elegance you desire for your home. Try this color in your bedroom or bathroom, and complement it with decor and art to complete the look.
Window Treatments
Teal is a fabulous color for 2026, inviting playfulness with depth that can both brighten and deepen the feel of a room. A hidden gem works well with drapery and roman shade fabrics against a lighter color on the wall. Try a softer version of this teal and also consider a black or gold pairing to accentuate the overall tone.
Sherwin-Williams: Universal Khaki
Who doesn’t love a good khaki? Now we have Universal Khaki to bring some neutral, calm tones to our homes for 2026. Refined yet elegant, tailored and toned down, the beige-tan base brings out green-gray undertones and works well as a foundational wall color. Decor and design pieces around the home can stand their own against this color, which welcomes everyone to the table as a well-rounded, inclusive color.
Window Treatments
Ready to try khaki this year? Now you can invite it into your home’s window treatment updates. Who says neutral beige cannot be inviting and full of character? This color blends with almost any upholstery and design features. Try some beautifully crafted rollers, romans, woven, or cellular shades to start. Add brass or dark brown finishes to play up the undertones and finish the look for a polished, playful result.
Valspar: Warm Eucalyptus
This year is about bringing the outdoors inside for a natural, calming aesthetic. Warm Eucalyptus reminds us of the calm presence of nature, but inside. With soft green tones and layered with quiet gray, this color will bring a subtle downshift to some of your spaces. Use this color to enrich your space without overwhelming it, with a warm presence. This hue works well in laundry rooms, home office spaces, and even on kitchen cabinets. You definitely will want to try this ‘must-see’ color in your home.
Window Treatments
Why do we love a warm eucalyptus? Not because it reminds us of koalas (adorable), but it brings a natural warmth to our windows as well, reminding us of nature-scapes with a hint of woods and forest. Green colors in rich hues are popular for windows, whether it’s custom window treatments in patterns or solids, or in sheer to room-darkening fabrics. They work well with other neutrals like white or beige, which can be accessorized with white oak or bronze for a polished finish. How subtle, yet chic!
Benjamin Moore: Silhouette
If you were wondering when brown was finally going to get the spotlight, wonder no more! This year, Benjamin Moore has chosen Silhouette as a color leader. Durable and long-lasting, this color has longevity due to its warm feeling, comfort, and sophisticated vibe. Designed for brighter spaces (unless you want a deeper, richer, and darker feel to a space), this color brightens with light, which makes it a great color for kitchens or living and dining rooms with beautiful, natural light throughout.
Window Treatments
Ready to try Silhouette on your window coverings? Think plantation shutters or wood blinds, with rich, deep hues. Luxury shades and custom draperies will add to your home’s style and can be paired with ivory or brass, with an antique look that brings the color out and enriches your space.
PPG: Warm Mahogany
Get ready to go deep with this rich Warm Mahogany shade. Feel the luxury of this posh (but not too important) color here to grace your walls and home. A combination of bold stillness, this color is full of character and may be used to color drench (paint walls and ceilings the same color) for a bold effect or accent it with furnishings and decor. A quirky, subtle wildness comes with this brown-red shade, and it is here for you in 2026!
Window Treatments
Window coverings are not commonly put up with a dark red tone, but it can be a powerful statement in your home. This rich color can pair well with other fabrics and patterns because of the homage to deep garnet, terracotta, and even mahogany. Opacities in the fabric will create the atmosphere you desire, from light-filtering to room-darkening. You can pair dark wood with bronzed metals to create a beautiful and fresh look in your home.
WGSN & Coloro: Transformative Teal
In 2026, Transformative Teal is in a class all by itself. What we love for our homeowners is the almost ostentatiousness of this color; this ‘teal with zeal’ will brighten up your space. Shades in this color can work almost anywhere, and if you use it on the walls to complement the windows, wallpaper with teal feels calming yet bold and can be paired with decor and fabrics to optimize visual beauty.
Window Treatments
Transform your space with this stunning color that is all about great energy. Window treatments might include some silks and satins, or even fabrics with a bit of patterning. Try warm whites, walnut, and brass to enhance the look, and pull some other tones that will bring your whole space together.
