The 2026 Colors

Behr Paint: Hidden Gem

The time is always right to add a smoky teal tone to your home, and Hidden Gem does just that. This color blends quiet confidence with a touch of boldness. While teal can feel intimidating at first, it pairs beautifully with lighter decor and works especially well in bathrooms or bedrooms accented with golden or beige upholstery.

While this 2026 color choice is bold and fabulous, it’s also a peaceful, deep tone that brings out the best in your space. Hidden Gem works beautifully as drapery paired with Roman shades or as a wall color backdrop next to lighter-toned window coverings. Accents in gold and black finishes add a surprising and sophisticated pop.

Look no further than your home for the best place to “wear” khaki—Universal Khaki, that is! Who knew this beautifully subtle 2026 color would be such a standout for interiors? With its natural, grounded appeal, it works well in any room of the house and is especially stunning in kitchens when paired with organic textures that highlight its depth.

If you’re ready to give khaki a chance, consider spaces that welcome plenty of natural light. Woven shades, natural roman shades, and sheer window treatments pair beautifully with this color. Incorporate brown or brass finishes to accentuate the tone, or add playful pops of color to give this calm, cool shade a lively twist.

Valspar: Warm Eucalyptus

The 2026 color trends are all about choosing how you want your space to feel. Warm Eucalyptus delivers a calm, comforting presence with its subtle, nature-inspired hues. Think forests, woods, and natural landscapes when incorporating this color into your home. It works especially well in laundry rooms and home offices, but it can easily be elevated with gold and beige accents throughout the space.

Teal is a wonderful way to add brightness and beauty, but where does it work best on windows? In kitchens, consider blinds in teal tones to create cheerful pops of color, or use it in rooms where natural light is a priority. Pair it with walnut, warm ivory, or crisp white finishes, and add coordinating accents around the window to complete the look.
