The dominant paint colour trend for 2026 is a shift towards rich, earthy tones. Grey and often white have been the overwhelmingly popular neutral colours in the past number of years and they are being replaced by warmer neutrals like soft taupe, beige and ivory. For anyone wanting to make more of a colour statement, look towards rich nature-inspired colours like dark brown, mustard, olive green, mahogany, deep plum, charcoal or warm navy. Colours in between neutrals and dark tones have a muted, earthy undertone. Feature walls of a different colour are still popular but with an architectural feature like decorative panels, shiplap or a moulding design. Colour drenching is another bold statement popular for 2026. Flat or matte paint finishes continue in popularity because of their smooth, modern look.
