2026 Colour of the Year

Day Spa 0634

Mood: Perfect for creating tranquil nooks, serene bedrooms, or mindful workspaces, this colour inspires a sense of grounding, comfort, and peace.

The 2026 Colour of the Year - Day Spa 0634 is a sumptuous deep blue, softened by a whisper of aqua, flows like still waters in a hidden retreat. It is calm yet commanding, serene yet indulgent—a hue that steadies the soul while hinting at possibility. This is a colour that transcends trends: at once timeless and new, intimate and expansive. A reminder that beauty lives not only in what is seen, but in the feeling it leaves behind.

Paired with The Refined Aesthetic, it lingers with quiet elegance, set against softened whites and noble neutrals, like ink settling into handmade paper. Within The Luxe Layer, it gathers richness, draped in warm ochres echoing the grandeur of heritage textiles reborn. And in The Comfort Edit, it leans into ease tempering airy pastels and grounding gentle neutrals, adding depth that matures the palette without diminishing its softness.

Acting as low-arousal backgrounds, these mineral shades allow textures, natural finishes, and artisanal details to shine—shaping timeless, elegant spaces with a sense of ease.

Emerging through imperfect whites and noble neutrals, where artisanal quality meets mineral warmth. This palette shapes interiors with quiet serenity, balancing elegance and authenticity in a timeless expression of design.
